Simon Evans™ is the artistic collaboration between Simon Evans and Sarah Lannan. Together, the New York-based artists create dense text-based collages brimming with poetic handwritten phrases, drawings, and images.

The first dollhouse of the exhibition, This American Dollhouse, depicts the cross-section of Simon Evans™'s Brooklyn apartment with some Lego reductioning to lend the appearance of a toy apartment. As the artists note, "the toy version of the world was a helpful way to feel honest." As one moves from the top floor to lower levels, the veneer of cleanliness and order—hidden from the eye of the all-seeing security camera—progressively erodes. A masked, costumed man stands in the kitchen with arms outstretched, acting out the frustration and confinement experienced during COVID-19 stay-at-home orders.
