World Doll Fair 2010, Moscow, Russia

The biggest exhibition, this one is a real event in the dolls world. In the historical centre of the Russian capital you’ll find an exposition covering 5600 square meters. We are supposed to have 25-30 thousand visitors. There will be more than 1000 participants from 26 countries of the world. Thousands of works will tell you about the connections between dolls and different cultural aspects – for masses, elite, folk and subculture. You’ll see shadow theatre dolls from the East and “glamour dolls” by modern artists; industrial dolls of the Soviet period and traditional national ones; mechanical and interior dolls; dolls for theatre and cartoon. You’ll be able to touch the history of the “dolls people” with the help of antique dolls collectors’ projects, you’ll see a doll-object, a doll-installation and a doll-collage.
