Cool Stuff: Tim Doyle’s ‘UnReal Estate II’ Art Show Featuring ‘Firefly,’ ‘Doctor Who,’ ‘Downton Abbey,’ ‘Deadwood’ And More
Location is essential to the medium of television. Unlike movies, which can use a location and move along, TV recycles the same places over and over to conserve time and money. The result is that places on television become characters themselves.
That was the idea behind Austin-based artistTim Doyle’sfirst solo art show,UnReal Estate, in early 2012. Now the sequel is upon us.UnReal Estate IIopens Thursday February 7 atSpoke Artin San Francisco, CA. Just like last year, Doyle has immortalized some of your favorite locations from our favorite TV shows. A few examples include the ship Serenity fromFirefly, the TARDIS inDoctor Who, the model home onArrested Development,andDownton Abbeyfrom, well, you know where.
Below we’ve got the entire show and will tell you how to see it in person as well as buy prints online.
The opening reception forUnReal Estate IIis Thursday February 7th from 6-10 p.m at Spoke Art, 816 Sutter St. San Francisco, CA. That’s the only place you can get the He-Man print, which will be given away to the first people in line. Anything that’s left over willgo on sale online at this linkaround 3 p.m. PST Friday February 8. Follow@Spoke_Arton Twitter for the official announcement.
