Alice in Wonderland

The exhibition of all things Alice in Wonderland could of been spectacular, It could of gone crazy - as I expected from an exhibition of this type. I was extremely disappointed at what seemed to be the lack of effort, I don't know if they thought perhaps that the work should speak for itself but I wanted to be plunged into something surreal - I wanted the experience to reflect that which I imagine when I read Lewis Carroll's work. I wanted it to be a strange wonderful place that would leave me in awe and never wanting to leave. What actually transpired was I entered a room that looked no different to the rest of the Liverpool Tate. The objects which where fascinating, did not hold my attention for long - I was to disappointed at the lack of theatrics. It could of been an adventure in itself but as it happened I just wanted to leave. I suppose it's my own fault for expecting something - but surely if you was asked to hold an Alice in Wonderland exhibition you would use it as a license to use all your imagination and take people into another world - perhaps I had my expectations to high, perhaps I am too much in a dream world myself, but I can't help being disappointed I can not help what I expected and therefore I can not help the disappointment that followed.
