Lilliput, Works of art from Cynthia von Buhler’s The Dollhouse Museum (MyMicroGallery --Milan, Italy)

Lilliput is the first land that Lemuel Gulliver visits in the book Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift. The inhabitants, though human in form, are only six inches tall. Thus, the artwork in the show is in 1:12 scale, the size of most dollhouses. The curator Cynthia von Buhler (http://www.cynthiavonbuhler.com) builds dollhouses for her books and plays and is in the process of creating a New York City dollhouse museum which will house tiny artworks by renowned artists. Each artist in Lilliput was given a small frame to create unique art for this exhibit.

Artists: Anita Kunz, Cathie Bleck, Kathy Osborn, Walter Sickert, Dean Haspiel, Christina Carrozza, Molly Crabapple, Silent James, Esther Westwood, Katelan Foisy, Jen Ferguson, Cynthia von Buhler, Rita J. King, Zoë Williams, Aaron Lazar, Pamela Martin, Logan Riley, Bibiana, Scott Bakal, David Mack,  Melissa Dowell, Michelle Vaughan, Paul Weiner, Dana McDonald and Kat Mon Dieu.

Curated by Cynthia von Buhler, Organized by Stefania Carrozzini.

Gallery: MyMicroGallery, Milan, Italy  (owned by Stefania Carrozzini, International curator and art critic).
