An interesting article about David Hopkins Exhibition at The Edinburgh Fruitmarket Gallery called 'Childish Things' here: http://news.scotsman.com/arts/Visual-Art-Childish-Things-curator.6616180.jp

'The exhibition Childish Things, curated by Professor David Hopkins of Glasgow University, will reveal that toys are neither simple nor simply child's play. In the hands of contemporary artists they have become a means to explore a vast range of issues, from our attitudes to our own growing up to the adult ideas and fears we project on to children. Infused with a certain sense of nostalgia, and at times with downright sinister connotations, the artworks in the show touch on both ancient and modern myths, dolls and puppets, simple pleasures and dark secrets.'
