Quartair presents Bad Objects, an exhibition that explores the enchanting yet unsettling nature of the doll’s house. In this show, Lore Pilzecker, Kiara Amartya, Ghazale Moqanaki, Marieke Peeters, and Ghazal Faghihi share different perspectives on the idea of the doll’s house.
Bad Objects | 11-20 October, 2024
When one thinks of a doll’s house, one might think of their personal history and origin –childhood, toys, and magic– but one could also think of the doll’s house as a representation of wealth disparity, or as a catalyst of horror. When buying a ‘real’ house is steadily becoming a disappearing reality for many, there is solace in the fantasy that the doll’s house provides in imagining our ideal world. In how it invites us to dream.
Bad Objects is organized by Ghazale Moqanaki and Marieke Peeters, both graduated from the Master Artistic Research program at the KABK / Royal Academy of Art in 2023. They often work together and are currently developing an immersive theatre project entitled Garbage Mansion, to be presented at the Zaal 3 of The National Theater, The Hague, 2025.
