Daily Coming Soon - Wonderland in Belfast: Ormeau Baths Gallery, October 7th - November 9th Welcome to our first dedicated Education micro site. Here we have tried to illustrate for teachers and educational professionals the best of our Wonderland educational activities over the last 3 years. These pages will be updated in July following the Wonderland exhibition in Sheffield in readiness for Wonderland visiting Belfast between 7 October and 9 November 2008. Wonderland is the fourth Art/Science project undertaken by Helen Storey Foundation. It is a collaboration between Tony Ryan, Scientist at University of Sheffield, Trish Belford, textile Designer, Interface, University of Ulster and Helen Storey, artist and designer. It is a core aim of the Wonderland project, which began by examining possible solutions for packaging and sustainability issues, that the work should instigate public response and suggest educational projects for schools and higher education. In 2008 Wonderland is a three city tour which began in London (29 January - 29 February) and continues to Sheffield (18 June – 13 July) and Belfast (7 October – 9 November). The Helen Storey Foundation manages Wonderland. HSF is a not for profit, project funded arts organisation, and is the instigator and main cultural partner on the Wonderland project. The Creative Director and co-founder, is renowned former fashion designer Helen Storey. Caroline Coates has worked with Helen for over two decades and is co-founder and Production Director. For the last ten years the Foundation has been at the forefront of the art and science interface, instigating novel cross disciplinary works, and visual art touring exhibitions, many of which have been award winning cultural hybrids. These projects have toured the world, and aim to provoke and stir the imagination of audiences, as well as explore the human condition. All projects have an educational dimension and aim to have societal and cultural impact.
