Disturbing Innocence
Curated by artist Eric Fischl, Disturbing innocence features over 50 historical and contemporary artists whose use of dolls, toys, mannequins, robots, and other surrogates forms a deep and powerfully expressive genre. This large-scale group exhibition explores the connotations between innocence and childhood when submersed in the pretensions of a ‘polite society’ and poses profound questions surrounding social constructs of youth, beauty, transformation, violence, sexuality, gender, identity, and loneliness.
