2011 MF Toys Show

All new hand-made art toys... Just in time for the Holiday Season!!
MF Gallery: 213 Bond St. Brooklyn, NY 11217
Cash & Carry Opening Party: Saturday November 12th, 7-10pm.
Every year, MF Gallery selects the best Art Toys for the annual "MF
Toys Show". Because of their love of toys, curators Martina and Frank
Russo have been putting together this show since 2003- long before
Designer Toys were in the mainstream.
The MF Toys Show focuses on toys that are 100% hand made by artists,
not painted vinyl or customized toys. These toys are made of materials
such as cast resin, clay, fabric, animal bones, paper, wood and more.
Most of the toys are priced between $10 and $100, and are perfectly
affordable holiday gifts.... Here's your opportunity to stick it to the
big corporations by supporting a local shop and buying cool gifts for
your family and friends!
All of the pieces in this show are one-of-a-kind originals, making
them very sought after collectibles. Some of the artists are toy makers,
others were asked to create a toy especially for this show. Artists
include: Drew Maillard, Esther Vershoor, Moses Jaen, Bianca Panzram,
Christine Benjamin, Max Reinhart, Jade Perez, Carisa Swenson, John
Weisgerber, Sheri Debow, Scott Garrett, Jacqui Gallant, Peggy Wauters,
Jaz Harold, Nicole Johnson, Nate Groppe, Junker Jane, Kamila Mlynarcz,
Greg Maillard, Sigal Inbar, Heather Gargon, MF Toys and more!
The 2011 MF Toys Show will open on Saturday November 12th. Many of
the artists will be attending the opening party from 7 to 10pm. The
party will be a "Cash & Carry" event. Buyers will be able to take
their toys home with them that very same night!
All of the toys are also available for viewing and purchasing online at: www.mfgallery.net/TS11/TS11.
The 2011 MF Toys Show will be open by appointment until December 18. Contact Martina or Frank by phone (at: 917-446-8681) or email (at: info@MFgallery.net) to make an appointment to see the show.

On Thursday November 10th, there will be a solo exhibition by Victoria
Palermo in the Main Galleries. The Carriage House will be closed for
the winter season. The work will be on display through December 4th
with a reception for the artist on Saturday November 12th from 6:00
until 8:00 p.m. RAUM
I am one of those people who occasionally succumbs to "Stendhal's Syndrome" -that is I swoon, literally experience vertigo, in front of a work of art... at times in front of a painting, especially a Rothko. In this work, I try to wedge myself into that abstract paint space, make it three-dimensional, walk around in it, and see through to the other side.
The layers of translucent colors here are recombinant, varying with the viewer's vantage point. That means you, the viewer, may participate in the work, mixing color and determining composition through your position outside the construction. I acknowledge the visual associations with the machined aesthetic and geometrical shapes of the Bauhaus and De Stilj, but form rejects function in my pieces. Their architectonic ambition is compromised by gravity--they are made of rubber, and closer inspection reveals their handmade origins. The works defy practicality--more like miniature Victorian follies in spirit perhaps--inviting a sense of fantasy to imagine dwelling inside.

"Victoria Palermo's diminutive architectural structures made of silicone rubber engage the senses and the intellect. Constructions that fuse a modernist appearance and ideology with an aesthetic of play found in their small size, bright colors, and illogical spaces, the work engenders a sense of pure pleasure and fun."
