I’m not going to lie, when I first heard about the Doggy Pile: A Deck of Dapper Dogs exhibition at Gallery Nucleus I didn’t give it much thought. Fast forward to a few days later and I’m at Gallery Nucleus taking photos of the Mulan 20th Anniversary tribute art exhibition and I’m thinking “I’m already here. I might as well take some notes and gets some pictures of the Doggy Pile exhibition.”

I was a bit surprised Gallery Nucleus was having two different exhibition openings going on at the same time but they have the room to do it. While the larger room was being used for the Mulan 20th Anniversary tribute exhibition, the Doggy Pile exhibition was going on in Gallery Nucleus’s upstairs room.

Gallery Nucleus’s upstairs room. It’s a good space for smaller more intimate exhibitions. Also, and I’m not sure if this is just at the exhibits I’ve been too but I feel like it never gets too crowded. My theory on this is because it’s such a small space they don’t really exhibit that much in there and unless you’re like me and need to document everything for some reason you can be in and out pretty quick.

The downside of the upstairs room is just the way it’s lit. The lighting is fine if you just want to see the stuff on display in there but if you’re trying to take photos it’s just terrible. A lot of glare, a lot of annoying shadows. For photographer who knows what they’re doing it’s not as problematic so much as it’s just really annoying.

Anyway, urated by Naomi Romero, the Doggy Pile: A Deck of Dapper Dogs exhibition featured artwork of stylishly dressed dogs. According to the Facebook Event page Gallery Nucleus told people that they were more than welcome to bring their dogs with them and I was really looking forward to seeing some dogs but unfortunately nobody brought their dogs with them.

I’m sorry I don’t have anything else to say about this exhibition but like I said I didn’t think I was going to be covering it so I didn’t bother doing any research on it. I tried coming up with something but honestly that it’s really hard.

At this point I’ve bullshitted enough so here’s the artwork!
