Adam Dant: Menageries and Monuments

16 Mar - 21 Apr 2007
Overview

Hales Gallery is pleased to announce Adam Dant's first solo show Menageries and Monuments at the gallery. For this show Dant has taken the idea of an 'Encyclopedic Compendium' as a visual form. Popularized in the 16th Century by Pieter Bruegel, numerous stories and pieces of information, such as proverbs and children's games are depicted together as part of a single pictorial scene. Dant updates this 16th century visual conceit
