TAG FINE ARTS is pleased to announce our summer group exhibition inspired by the 1974 BBC hit TV show ‘Wish You Were Here…?’ celebrating a return to local and international travel.
About
‘Wish You Were Here…?’ takes a playful look at holidaying and travel escapism as we seek to re engage with the wonders of the world post-pandemic.
Just as the BBC hit TV show invited its audiences to be virtually transported to an exotic location from the comfort of their living room, ‘Wish You Were Here…?’ encourages visitors to submit to their sense of adventure and imagination. Through the eyes of a group of curatorially selected artists, viewers can contemplate our very human desire to travel and explore. But as the way we travel changes, with environmental concerns redefining how, when and where we take our holidays, Wish You Were Here…?’ is, in many ways, a beautiful metaphor for holidaying itself – the exhibition touching on themes such as memory and nostalgia, that are irrefutably interwoven with how artists are approaching this complex subject today.
