Claes Oldenburg was born in Stockholm in 1929. Oldenburg, a trained artist, was actively involved in the Pop Art Movement in the 1960's. He created and was involved in a number of Happenings, spontaneous moments of art during that period.

The mouse theme, more specifically, the head of the mouse, began to emerge in Oldenburg's work in 1965. The image was used as a mask with a design based on a profile of a movie projector (the reels being the ears and the nose as the lens) in the performance piece Moveyhouse. The image appeared the following year as the facade and plan of the Mouse Museum, a museum displaying Oldenburg's objects of popular culture.

The mouse became part of Oldenburg's personal mythology. It was used as a letterhead symbol for his first retrospective exhibition in 1966, at The Moderna Museet in Stockholm, and for a banner logo advertising his exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, in New York in 1969.

Oldenburg regards the geometric mouse as a symbol of analysis and intellect, autobiographical but not necessarily a portrait…in other words, the mouse is a state of mind.

Emily Eveleth

For nearly two decades, Emily Eveleth has insistently pursued the ironic and expressive potential of her signature image, the ordinary and ubiquitous doughnut. The new paintings amplify and extend Eveleth’s technical achievements and formal concerns, while adding dramatically to her pictorial range. Yellow custard slowly emerges from the broken center of a thick, flaky doughnut. 

Emily Eveleth was born in Connecticut in 1960. She received an undergraduate degree from Smith College and pursued graduate studies at the Massachusetts College of Art. Her work is included in prominent museums, corporate and private collections. In 2010 the artist had a solo exhibition at Smith College Museum of Art in Northampton, MA. Among other awards, she was the recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship for Painting, and a French Government Grant for the Artist-in-Residency Program in Rochefort-en-Terre. She was a visiting artist at the American Academy in Rome. She currently lives and works in Massachusetts.

Steven and Billy Blaise Dufala practice in a variety of media, approaching sculpture, theater, performance, music, digital media, and drawing with equal passion. The Dufala Brothers have exhibited widely in Philadelphia, with solo exhibitions at Haverford College (2010) and most recently at Fleisher/Ollman (2012). In their recent Fleisher/Ollman show entitled Trophy, concepts of use-value, sentimentality, exaggeration, and shelf-life were explored through the absurd lens of the trash-picker. For the 2005 Fringe Festival they organized a now infamous toilet-trike race through the streets of Old City, for which they built fourteen toilet tricycles. In 2004, they rode a cardboard tank across town on city streets during rush hour, confounding passersby. In 2009 the Dufala Brothers were awarded the West Grand Prize, an international juried prize in its inaugural year. Both graduated from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and live and work in Philadelphia.

Walter Martin & Paloma Munoz

Archival color photograph

Edition of 50

Walter Martin and Paloma Munoz work collaboratively to create mesmerizing miniature snowbound environments, then record them in vivid color photographs. At first glance the work is playful; on closer observation, it often reveals darker narratives: lone wanderers survey the frigid landscape, and people and creatures exhibit unnatural tendencies.

Martin and Munoz create the figures, either adapting ready-made figurines or shaping them out of clay. Martin works on the sets, painting and positioning the figures in constructed environments. The final compositions are captured in photographs by Munoz, which are meticulously stitched and adjusted digitally for the final effect.
