MAN-E-NEWS// Bridget Rhee’s “Buddy’s Den” at TT Underground…

“Buddy is a hunter. A cute adorable one. But Buddy doesn’t prize the ordinary wild animal, he seeks to collect the eccentric– fantastic, strange, and unique creatures and odds and ends from the likes no one has ever seen before.”

Peter Kato kindly shares with us the first group art show from friend, artist and former Toy Tokyo employee, Bridget Rhee. Entitled “Buddy’s Den”, Bridget’s vision was to create the feel of a hunter’s trophy den in a gallery, replacing the usual array of taxidermy with a slew of fantastical creatures! Enlisting the talents of some of New York’s most respected artists including Healeymade, Mariangela Tan(Plushplay) & Justin Alan Volpe(Popprolific), Bridget’s amazing idea has finally come to fruition, with “Buddy’s Den” opening its doors at the mighty TT Underground Gallery this Friday! We suggest to anyone in the NY area to pop down… this is set to be one of the most imaginative shows this year. Head over to the TT Underground site for more details…
