Denise Tassin, Fairyland, March 2007
Fairyland explores the myths of childhood through an almost life-size "home" environment, installated within spare room. Through the layering of fairytales, such as Alics in Wonderland, and Hansel and Gretel, and the act of free play, Fairyland can provide the viewer with a nostalgia that is both invented and very real.
This special project at spare room is presented in conjunction with the exhibit Out of Place, University of Maryland Art Gallery, curated by Jennie Fleming.
