'Art Toy': exhibition by the students of Monographs of Contemporary Architecture II.
Its students, led by Professor Carlos Chocarro, have organized an itinerant exhibition together with Cultural Activities Office
The students of the subject Monographs of Contemporary Architecture II, directed by Professor Carlos Chocarro have prepared a exhibition of 'Art Toy' with the partnership of Cultural Activities Office of the University of Navarra. The sample is made on some plastic or vinyl toys known as 'Munny's', by Paul Budnitz.
"The toys correspond to a movement that became fashionable around the 1990s in Hong Kong, when Michael Lau and Eric So used soft vinyl to create limited versions of collectible toys aimed at an adult audience," says Diego Vega, a student at School of Architecture at the University of Navarra.
When it became popular," he adds, "it also became commercialized, and great painters, graffiti artists, comic book artists and illustrators began to customize them, invading the Anglo-Saxon and European markets.
The exhibition is part of the competition Expresarte, organized by the area of Cultural Activities Office of the academic center and aimed at young people under 30 years. This biennial event was created with the support of several Architecture and Audiovisual Communication students.
