About this Venue

Stationed out of our Mothership in Philadelphia we are Invading this planet to bring you toys. Watch the skies for fresh vinyl releases by amazing designers and join our interplanetary cause to replace this greasy marble's inhabitants with art loving Martians. You think they will plop down a mothership next to the local Walmart? Maybe set a saucer on the Apple Glass Cube on 5th Ave? Or will a little green dude walk into Starbucks, say, “Greetings Earthling!” and proceed to order a Pumpkin Spiced Latte!? — don’t be silly. Our invasion will take form of collectable art known as designer toys. We've scoured this planet for it's finest artists and creatives to define the vessels of our mind control devices. Each of limited quantity and premium quality meant to collect and bring joy, these "toys" are a perfect means to infiltrate. At first it's just one art toy, a cool vinyl figure that speaks to your style, then another, and another. Soon you won't be able to stop and WE will take credit for that! The toy is based on a rabbit figure with distinctive tubular ears. The origin of the name Dunny came from a combination of street slang and one of the early "Devil Bunny" prototypes. The Dunny is sold in four sizes - 3", 5", 8" and 20". The toy has three points of articulation; a 360 degree rotational head and two arms. An artist card or sticker is also included with the 3" Dunny from a series. Most 3" Dunnys and some 8" Dunnys are normally sold as "blind assortment"; the figure is packaged inside a sealed foil wrapper, such that the buyer is not able to see which figure and accessories they are buying. Sealing the figure prevents people from opening and peeking in the boxes and buying only the figures they want. Most Dunnys are packaged inside a clear plastic bag in addition to the foil wrapper. In the second-hand market, this assures the buyer that the article was never on display and is in a "new" condition. With the success of vinyl toys as a medium for expression, many fans and artists have put their own design onto blank Dunnys. MP Gautheron is a French artist renowned for her vibrant and intricate paintings, sculptures, and custom art toys. Based in Rennes, France, she has been immersed in art from a young age, influenced by her mother, an art professor and painter. This early exposure led her to pursue formal studies in graphical design and plastic arts in Paris, culminating in a Master’s degree in plastic art/illustration.   Gautheron’s artistic universe blends elements of skulls, animals, nature, and intricate patterns. Her work often explores the natural process of death, aiming to help viewers accept it by embellishing and reinterpreting its imagery. She employs a mix of realistic depictions and fantastical configurations to tell stories, frequently using bold colors to infuse life into her subjects.
