London: 14 May – 28 May 2009 Venice: 6 June – 11 June 2009
Travelling Light is a joint collaboration between WW Gallery and Pharos Gallery. The exhibition will open in London 14th – 28th May and will be hung in Venice 6th – 11th June.
Intending to stretch the artistic imaginations of its artists through imposing size and weight constraints, the work will travel along the trade route to Venice, a path historically well-trodden by merchants, libertines and young men coming of age, attracted to the pleasure capital of Europe. With its gambling houses and beautiful courtesans, a trip to Venice represented, in the words of J J Cale, a “one way ticket to ecstasy…”
