OMG, OMG! Last night I went to see Brothers Quay at the MOMA. They had an exhibit called: Quay Brothers: On Deciphering the Pharmacist's Prescription for Lip-Reading Puppets. My friend, Lucas hooked me up by sneaking me in, well not really, but I pretended. It was a members only sneak peak! I also saw the Quay Brothers there! They looked happy mingling with the crowd. Anyway, the upstairs galleries showed puppets, drawings, posters, videos and work on paper, which was really great. But my favorite part was downstairs! The downstairs was called Dormitorium, which showed Dioramas or actual SETS from some of their stop motion films! For example they had The Street of Crocodiles set, (my favorite) the part with the tailor shop. The last photo is with me posing with it! The sets are incredible! They are intense, with lots of detail, dust, and strange creatures that lure you in and pull you into their world. What the hell is happening in there? The story possibilities are endless. I am so inspired to create my own set! Lastly, they had several enclosed, wooden boxes with a circular magnifying glass in the middle of the front panel (see picture 9). They are called Cinema Decor. You can look inside the box, via magnifying glass and see inside of it. They are so mysterious, with rooms and people inside the box, waiting to be explored or exploited.
