From: Klarita Pandolfi Category: Exhibitions Date: 09 October 2006 Time: 04:17 PM Review: Through The Large Glass (7th - 29th October 2006) on Friday, 6 October, from 6pm to 9pm at the Three Colts Gallery Unit 207, 2nd floor Greenheat Business Centre, Three Colts lane Bethnal Green - London E2 Through The Large Glass Curated by Marcus Cope & Stephanie Moran A group exhibition of about twenty artists on the theme of 'Marcel Duchamp meets Lewis Carroll' or 'Rrose Selavy meets Alice' - the first meeting point being games, particularly chess, through Duchamp's love of chess and punning word games and the importance of playing cards and chess in Carroll's Alice books. The other juncture is invention - Rrose Selavy as Duchamp's female alter ego and in herself a pun, connects with Alice's favourite phrase - 'let's pretend'. From the makers of "The Circus Show" comes a surreal extravaganza of make-believe, fantasy, invention and role play. The exhibition will feature opening night performances, paintings, installations, sculptures and more. Dare you step "Through The Large Glass"?
