The Stuff of Nightmares Press Release
2 July 2011 - 26 February 2012
The Stuff of Nightmares explores the darker side of traditional fairy tales – taking a look behind the veneer of innocence of the stories we have told and re-told to successive generations of small children.
Press Release: My Giant Colouring Book
10 September 2011 - 8 January 2012
An exhibition of 21 etchings by Jake and Dinos Chapman will open at the V&A Museum of Childhood this September. My Giant Colouring Book, a Hayward Touring Exhibition, uses the join-the-dot drawings from a children’s picture book and the naïve innocence of the illustrations as the trigger for a wild outpouring of fantastical imagery far removed from the original dot formations.
