Dormitorium explores the macabre fantasy world of twin brothers Stephen and Timothy Quay through the highly detailed miniature sets of their influential stop-motion animations. Dormitorium, which originated at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, represents the first time the décors of the London-based Quays have been exhibited in N.America. The Brothers have built a cult following with their dark, moody films, which are heavily influenced by Eastern European film, literature, and music and often feature disassembled dolls and no spoken dialogue. The exhibition combines rarely seen, collaboratively designed miniature décors from some of their most prominent works, as well as continuous screenings of excerpts from several of the films.
Gallery hours: Daily 12:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. and late Thurs evenings until 8:00 p.m.; closed all major holidays and holiday eves. The galleries will be closed Labor Day, Mon 9/7.
