Alice in Whales: Deception of A Story

It's Sunday morning, and I'm flicking through the local arts magazine, (named after a mammal close to the welsh hills heart) just to see what's going down in and around the place. Hey, what's this little beauty I spot?! On page 6 in the 'art' section, in a very modest sized text, one advertisement reads: 


Museum of Modern Art, Machynlleth
[Phone Number]
Until 1 Aug 'A Story of Deception. 
FRANCIS ALYS.


My heart decides to skip a beat as I read, what a gem to visit while I'm staying with my parents for the summer I think. A friend took me to this exhibition when it was in London last year, my ears had never noticed the guy before, and I was won over, over and over, room after room showing the artist's brilliant, humourful and striking idea's, he has had a large impact on the way I have been thinking about and making art, I'm even edging towards doing some film! (not of any standard, just experimenting at the moment) 
So.. where was I? 


Then curiosity gets me, I sift through the next few pages, looking for the bigger advert, surely this is something the area would love to boast about, am I right?!
It is nowhere to be found. 
Something smell's a bit fishy. 


Later in the day I take a look at the gallery's web page, (I'm quite excited here, I didn't even realize there was a MoMA in Wales, why haven't I heard about this, surely it can't be linked with the one in that there country across the pond?) 
Nothing! Ddim gweld i Francis ar yr... Website (excuse my welsh) 


Wait a minute... 
I take a look at the Museum of Modern Art, New York's site, 
and sure enough, they have some good exhibitions coming up...
"Fracncis Alÿs: A Story of Deception THROUGH AUGUST 1"




I can't deny, I wish I had thought of the idea.
If something looks too good to be true...


I mean, Francis Alÿs, by the seaside, in Whales.
