boom, Boom, BOOM!. It’s coming! Can you feel it? There is something on its way that will change your life, or at least your coffee table, forever. The Blackheart gang is shrouded in shadow, we do not spill our secrets easily. We want you to wonder. Wonder at what it could be? And when May it appear?
The biggest bang since the big one, the exhibition at Bell Roberts
How, the exhibition, explores the process and development of The Household and it’s histories. The exhibition is as much a hat tip to the achievements of The Tale of How on the international circuit as to the artistry and dedication that has gone into the creation of this piece. It consists of the animation The Tale of How, a short film named “The making of…” picture documentation in the form of prints, life sized wood carvings of various characters, poetry, manuscripts of histories and several field recordings all taken from the world in which The Tale of How exists. The gang will endeavor to recreate Rooster Bear’s study, a dark room filled with ancient texts and artifacts, which will certainly give us more insight into their Realm.
