A journey into the world of Art Toys.

2017 - 2018 | International
With this exhibition, TOPIC was the first museum in the world to dig into the artistic current of ‘art toys’ in relation to puppets. Although these are toys, they are toys with a very strong artistic element to them. With their links to fantasy and childhood, proper to any toy, still intact, these figures have become artistic objects that reclaim a place for themselves in museums and specialised exhibitions.

Coordinated and directed by TOPIC, organised by Fran Picazo and managed and co-organised by the international artistic collective Art Toy Gama, this was a fun and thoughtful exhibition where fifty-nine national and international artists showed their varied proposals.

Visitors had the chance to gain current insight into the world of ‘art toys’ for the first time, as well as into their relation with puppets. It was a unique opportunity to enjoy a live and ever-changing example of a hybrid, post-modern and multicultural art.
