Moundverse Infants: Opening Reception

Temple Contemporary hosts an opening reception for its new exhibition, Moundverse Infants, featuring newly commissioned work by visual artist Trenton Doyle Hancock examining the representation of race in the material culture of toy dolls. The exhibition features a collection of white dolls that Hancock, an African American male, has collected over the past 20 years, alongside black dolls from the Philadelphia African American Doll Museum. A Tyler School of Art alumnus, Hancock has created a new set of dolls based on these two collections and on a cast of characters who reappear throughout his body of work, which includes intricate collaged paintings, prints, and installations. 

Free and open to the public. The exhibition is on view May 10-July 27, 2018. Exhibition hours are 12-5 p.m., Thursday to Sunday and by appointment.
