18 June  – 13 July 2008



A powerful project of shared ideas.  
Art. Science. Discovery.
Scientist Professor Tony Ryan, University of Sheffield.
Artist and designer Helen Storey, London College of Fashion.
Shining light on sustainability and ethical living.  
Science inspires art.
Art inspires activism.
Real solutions to real problems.
The start of something remarkable.
Disappearing dresses at Meadowhall.
Bottles become flowers at The Botanical Gardens.
The visual story at the Millennium Gallery.
The dialogue at the University of Sheffield.
Shock. Challenge. Provoke.
It starts here.

With a radio, television, web and actual visiting audience of over 2.5 million people Wonderland Sheffield was a great success. This evocative work instigated a curious and receptive response at Meadowhall shopping centre, the Botanical Gardens and other sites from a broad range of people.

Over the exhibition period the Wonderland partners accrued a wealth of documentation including film, photography, illustration and public comments. This will be added to the site over the coming weeks.
