Visual Arts • All Ages
Wildly imaginative artist Hervé Tullet—known for his beloved children’s book Press Here—presents This Isn’t Trash, his first major exhibition in New York.
Hervé will fill the Invisible Dog Art Center with hundreds of new pieces, some as tall as 8 feet, created at his studio in Harlem and onsite. Colorfully painted, torn, taped, creased and reassembled sheets of paper will be hung from the ceiling. Together, they will assemble into a layered, multi-dimensional forest of colorful artworks. Visitors will meander through, encountering new viewpoints, windows, and surprise compositions.
School tours of the exhibit will be organized over the course of its run, guided by teaching artist Amélie Gaulier, who was trained by Tullet.
