Quay Brothers & Exhibitions

Inventorium. The Pharmacist's Prescription for Lip Reading Puppets

Saturday 22 November
University of Brighton Gallery 10:00AM

This exhibition brings together two installations of work by the brothers; 'Dormitorium' and 'Eurydice - She, So Beloved..'

DORMITORIUM:
Film Décors of the Quay Brothers
This is a collection of wonder-cabinets
designed by the Quay Brothers. Each
one is small world of puppets, objects
and scenery related to one of their films including STREET OF CROCODILES and INSTITUTE BENJAMENTA. Every box is a carefully designed three-dimensional environment of mystery and imagination.

EURYDICE – SHE, SO BELOVED combines an optical box with an anamorphic painting and a video projection. Inspired by the classical story of love and loss as Orpheus enters the underworld in an attempt to bring his deceased young bride, Eurydice, back to the world of the living, the installation is a collaboration between the Quays, choreographer Kim Brandstrup, the Royal Ballet’s Zenaida Yanowsky and the opera singer Simon Keenlyside. Commissioned by Opera North Projects and Capture with the Culture Company.
