The
Enchanted Forest
Celebrating
200 years of Grimm’s Fairy Tales
Wednesday
28 November – Saturday 8 December
FREE
Exhibition
The
first ever collection of Grimm’s fairy tales, entitled “Children’s
and Household Tales”, was published in December of 1812, and two
hundred years later it is still thrilling children and adults alike.
To celebrate two hundred years of enchantment and magic; seven young
up and coming illustrators will be interpreting these wonderfully
dark and mysterious stories into a very special Christmas exhibition
at Foyles. With inspiration taken from both the classics, such as
Hansel and Gretel, and the less well-known tales like The Golden
Bird; this exhibition is about interpreting and re-discovering a
cultural legacy that has been with us for 200 years.
The
contributing artists include Emma Block, Lesley Barnes, LauraBarrett, Natsuki Otani, Yelena Bryksenkova, Emmeline Pidgen and
Karolin Schnoor.
Prepare
to be spellbound as you enter The Enchanted Forest.
