Wish You Were Where?

Manchester Art Gallery.

 

I decided to make use of my time and visited Manchester Art Gallery a couple of weeks ago and saw these pictures on my camera and couldn't resist. So the idea of this collection is visitors to the gallery where asked 'wish you were where?' to which they would write a place on a piece of paper and tie it to one of the suitcases in the collection.  There was something so realistic, yet fragile about this exhibition that I was drawn to it.

I added my own onto the birdcage :)

Plus reading each piece of paper was inspiring; children wishing they were in Neverland, and quirky adults that wished they were with loved ones and places or memories from their past.

Artists and celebrities that contributed were; Badly Drawn Boy, Alan Birch, Pavel Buchler, Margaret Cahill, Ben Cook, Michael Craig-Martin, Nick Crowe, Mike Chavez-Dawson, Matthew Dalziel and Louis Scullion, Phil Diggle, Tim Dunbar, Leo Fitzmaurice, Yuen Fong Ling, Angela Ford, David Gledhill, John Hamilton, David Hancock, Edward Hillel, Peter Hook, Mark Kennard, Laurence Lane, Frank Martin, Susan McCall, Martin Murray, Professor Chris Orr, Helen Palumer, Adele Prince, Sean Scully, Liam Spencer, Martin Vincent, Jonny Vegas, John Walsh, Gina Ward and Tony Wilson.
