Yoshitaka Amano’s 2006 collaboration with Neil Gaiman and David Bowie -I wanted to make the story about David Bowie coming to the city of New York. Iman is the queen, and she’s waiting for the Duke to rescue her, and she’s been waiting for a thousand years. But when I told that to Iman, she said that in real life that would never happen. [Laughs] She’d never wait that long. (Amano on The Return of the Thin White Duke, for V Magazine.)
Opening for one weekend only on November 9th, 2018 at Spoke Art Gallery’s pop-up location in New York City, 213 Bowery, is the dynamic group exhibition of over 85 artists dedicated to Wes Anderson’s latest film, the Isle of Dogs Art Show.
Isle of Dogs is a stop motion
animated film set in a Japanese dystopian future. The story follows
a boy’s journey to find his dog after the species is banished to an
island following the outbreak of a canine flu. Inspired by the
adventurous tale that Anderson brought forth, a select group of
artists have created character portraits and highly detailed
environments and scenes inspired by Isle of Dogs. Featuring a
diverse array of painting, sculpture and limited edition prints, each
artist offers their own unique perspective and interpretation of the
Wes Anderson film. Sets and puppets from the film will be on
display. This whimsical and canine filled pop-up exhibition is an
absolute must see.
The exhibition will be on view November 9th through the 11th.
