Exquisite Trove

Newlyn Art Gallery   23rd July - 2nd October 2010

 

 

 

 

'The House of Fairy Tales presents its travelling collection of mysterious artefacts from over 100 artists, which merges with extraordinary artefacts selected from West Cornwall museums by Cornelia Parker, Hadrian Pigott, Tim Shaw, Alex Smirnoff and Blair Todd. Exquisite Trove is an exploration of our human desire to collect, display and tell tales with objects and images that reflect our own personal histories and a fascination with the imagined lives of others'.
