The Royal Art Lodge: Ask the Dust

January 18 – March 8, 2003

Over a period of six years, The Royal Art Lodge had produced a remarkably large body of work, including drawings, sculptures, videos, puppets, music, costumes, and dolls. Their low-tech aesthetic and crude-yet-precise draftsmanship, combined with a perversely idiosyncratic sense of humor, results in an outpouring of unforgettable hybrid creatures, absurd commentaries on the human condition, and an art of dynamic energy, whimsical charm, and expressive beauty.

The Royal Art Lodge: Ask the Dust was organized jointly by The Drawing Center, New York; The Power Plant, Toronto; De Vleeshal, Middelburg (NL); and Plug In ICA, Winnipeg.
