Tate modern: Alice In Wonderland until 29gen12

una mostra alla Tate celebra il controverso ma molto ispirativo lavoro di Lewis Carroll, Alice nel paese delle meraviglie, e come ha influenzato il lavoro di  molti artisti contemporanei; un'occasione per vedere i disegni e gli scatti dell'autore e ripercorrere una storia così controversa da essere sempre reinterpretata.

Alice in Wonderland at Tate Liverpool is the first exhibition of its kind to explore how Lewis Carroll’s stories have influenced the visual arts, inspiring generations of artists. Alice in Wonderland will offer visitors a rare opportunity to view Carroll’s own drawings and photographs, alongside Victorian Alice memorabilia and John Tenniel’s preliminary drawings for the first edition of the novel.
Carroll’s stories were soon adopted by other artists. 
Surrealist artists from the 1930s onwards were drawn towards the fantastical world of Wonderland where natural laws were suspended. From the 1960s through the 1970s, Carroll’s Alice tales also prompted conceptual artists to explore language and its relationship to perception, and the stories inspired further responses in Pop and Psychedelic art.  Expect to see works by artists ranging from Salvador Dalí and René Magritte, to Peter Blake and Yayoi Kusama.
