Exquisite TroveNEWLYN ART GALLERY 23 July - 2 October 2010 THE NEW ART GALLERY WALSALL 31 October 2009 – 10 January 2010 The House of Fairy Tales touring exhibition of artefacts, drawings, notes, photographs, films and curios on loan from over 100 artists began its journey at The New Art Gallery Walsall and is currently on display at Newlyn Art Gallery where it is merged with objects on loan from West Cornwall museums. Inspired by cabinets of curiosities, or Wunderkammer, the exhibition is an exploration of the human to desire to collect, display and tell stories with objects and images. They reflect our personal histories and a fascination with the imagined lives of others.
Many of the contributors are involved with The House of Fairy Tales as exhibiting artists, players or supporters and include a few children. The sense of playfulness at the heart of the show is a reminder that child-like play is a crucial part of our understanding of life.
