Derby

From 2006 to 2008 museum visitors gathered at the Smyles & Fish fairgrounds to participate and watch the S&F games held there monthly. With its interactive content, for two years the Derby was host to multi-media contests open to entrants and spectators alike, with winners determined by S&F voters. Today the fairgrounds are quiet, though an exhibition of past S&F games can be glimpsed by proceeding through these glass doors.

Oscar Wilde:

The artist is the creator of beautiful things.
To reveal art and conceal the artist is art's aim.

Jonathan Safran Foer:

well, sure there's that, but I believe we should also exploit tragedies, like the Holocaust and 9/11, to exhibit our paltry wit and overall pretensiousness through literary gimmicks and hackneyed writing. Oh, and also sell our stories to Hollywood for tons of money.
