Brutalist London landmark the Barbican lays out the welcome mat for The House of Viktor & Rolf. Keeping things simple curatorially, the exhibition is separated into viewing rooms showing the individual collections alongside key pieces to inspect close-up—each item dressed on a beautiful, albeit sinister, "cartoon" mannequin hand-crafted by Dutch artisans. But the centerpiece (quite literally) is the gigantic dolls' house. Rising up to the second floor, it features miniature recreations of their most celebrated outfits on delicate, expressionless dolls, which viewers are invited to view more closely through the mother-of-pearl opera glasses on hand.( from JCreport)
