The Tallest of Tales Alison Erika Forde
27 July - 10 November 2013
Manchester Art Gallery
Free entry
From 27 July, Manchester Art Gallery presents The Tallest of Tales, an exhibition of new work by contemporary British artist Alison Erika Forde. The exhibition features 12 new, previously unseen works, displayed together for the first time in a special installation.
For The Tallest of Tales, Forde's works are displayed around and within a small wooden hut, specially created by the artist for the exhibition.
From outside, Forde's works and the house itself are playfully evocative of children's stories such as Hansel and Gretel and Little Red Riding
Hood, but inside there is a dimly lit and cramped atmosphere. As such, the house forms an integral part of Forde's art, transforming her exhibition
into an innocently enchanting installation on first look, but with a series of contrasting, darker works to explore within it.
