David Seidner: Paris Fashions, 1945 In 1944, the war-battered French couture industry decided to revive
its international reputation by conceiving a small exhibition entitled Théâtre de la Mode. The exhibition
organizer enlisted the major fashion designers of the day, to create outfits for small wire-frame dolls just
over two feet tall. With the return of the French fashion industry, the dolls had completed their work and
were donated to the Maryhill Museum near Portland, Oregon, where they disappeared from view. Under
an extraordinary set of circumstances in 1990, the dolls were rediscovered and returned to Paris, recoiffed
and restyled for an exhibition at the Musée de la Mode. Because of his pioneering work with French fashion
and historical gowns, DAVID SEIDNER was asked to photograph the little dolls. ICP will exhibit fifteen of
Seidner’s color photographs from the David Seidner Archive in the Permanent Collection, along with one of
the original dolls. Through September 20, 2009.
John Wood: Quiet Protest Quiet Protest is a series of photographic works by the noted mixed media artist and

EQUIPMENT POLL
