Currently on view at Mireille Mosler Ltd. is Surveillance from the Doll House, a group exhibition featuring artists Nathania Rubin, Cindy Sherman, Laurie Simmons, and Karen Yasinsky. The exhibition challenges the assumptions of personal identity and the inanimate, and how these relate to the creation of alter-egos. To communicate their ideas, the artists use various aesthetic and conceptual methods, such as drawings and puppet animation, and they all share a fascination in the tangible, emotional, or political manipulation of their characters.

Laurie Simmons’s monograph Walking, Talking, Lying as well as the limited-edition print Talking Handkerchief, are available from Aperture Foundation.
