How would you like your favourite handmade plush toys to star in a new exhibition? Artist Helen Frik is appealing to makers and owners of original toys to send in their beloved friends and creations to appear as exhibits in her latest work at Chapter in Cardiff.
he exhibition, entitled 'Difficult' will run from 2 April - 9 May 2010 and will feature the installation 'Higher Up, where to', which will fill an entire room of the Gallery. The room will be darkened with a vague light emitting from a greatly enlarged bedside lamp and an array of 'toys' will be trying their hardest to reach the lamp, to soak up it's warmth and energy. If you'd like your toy to be a main player in the piece, Helen's team are in the process of collecting them now: they need 200, and will even come to take your toys away for you *sob* if you arrange collection in advance.
call 029 2132 8082 or email visual.arts@chapter.org if you'd like to submit your toy(s).
