Theme park

In the 1970s – before post-modernism made theme shows a no-go zone – there was a letter to artists that used to go something like this. “Dear Rick, Next month we are mounting an exhibition called Puppy Love, which will examine the role of the dog in art. We would like to borrow your work Seven dogs. If this work is not available perhaps you could suggest another of your works that features dog or you might even consider making a special dog work for the show.”

We were reminded of this when we saw an ad for Kinder Seeks Art in the most recent Art Forum. You can go to the web page here and read…

“Kinder has initiated an international search to find and record works of art (drawing, painting, sculpture, street art, photography, installations, video etc. etc.) inspired by the form of the Kinder egg or its surprise-toys.”

… or, maybe you would like to make a work of art that features the Kinder egg and send it to us.
