Theme Parks Curated by the Blue Oyster Arts Trust

Theme Parks is a group show curated by the Blue Oyster Arts Trust that brings to light notions of superficiality, nostalgia, the entertainment value of art and the artistic restrictions inherent in curatorial practice simply through designating a theme. Theme Parks exude a sense of nostalgia - those lazy hazy crazy days of summer where tensions boil only beneath the surface. All is a facade. From the colourful sheen of the fun house front, to the static smiles on the clown's faces - it is superficiality that counts.
