Penumbra: Beyond the Uncanny Valley is an intergenerational exhibition of works by artists creating simulacra of both the human form and domicile—doll and dollhouse. The artists included, while uniquely varied in perspective and approach, all make similar choices in terms of scale, form, and media. The exhibition title references the 1970 musical sexploitation film Beyond the Valley of the Dolls—the official-turned-unofficial surrealist sequel-turned-parody of the iconic 1967 film, The Valley of the Dolls, as well as the penumbra–an astronomical term referring to the partially shaded outer region of a shadow cast by an opaque object.
