Professor Paulette Singley has a featured essay in Ìý³Ù¾±³Ù±ô±ð»åÌýDollhouses and Other Bad Objects. An excerpt from the piece reads:

Seen through the artist, Sam Durant’s model houses and the toy-like architectural models that Jennifer Bonner of MALL and Jimenez Lai of Bureau Spectacular explore, model misbehavior describes the way in which the loophole of play-acting pulls at the loose threads of mischief that the dollhouse’s ludic chambers sanction. The emergence of the hyper-dollhouse conjures realms where melodrama, or bad acting, finds its proper equivalent in interior design as the formal generator for this architecture, where sites of micro-disobediences in furnished tableaux explore form as a supra-real provocation that upends orthodox architectural biases fraught with dormant familial narrative. Focusing on the dollhouse as a philosophical toy – its excessive details, unfettered ornamental adherences, province of the “petite feminine,” and domestic saturation – describe it as a model site for exploring miniature architecture on a stage where behavioral rehearsals and reversals are child’s play.
