"Dreams of Flight" by Randy Regier at River Market Antiques

A KC-based artist who explores how the fantasies of childhood dovetail with the anxieties of adulthood, Randy Regier is fascinated by the design of toys made and sold during the Cold War period. To maximize the impact of his works, Regier develops elaborate fictions intended to disguise their artistry, so that they come across to the viewer as artifacts retrieved from a historical past. Regier’s Open Spaces project gradually reveals itself at the National Toy and Miniature Museum, KCAI Crossroads Gallery, and River Market Antiques.
