Wish You Were Here - Hans Ulrich Obrist

Hans Ulrich Obrist, Artistic Director of the Serpentine galleries in London, brings his curating expertise to the Instagram feeds of over 400,000 followers in an endeavour to revive the art of handwriting within an ever-advancing digital age. In this open-ended project, bringing together the slow composition of the handwritten note and the velocity of the Instagram post, Obrist collects an abundance of thoughts for the day, dreams, drawings, musings, jokes, quotations, questions, answers, poems and puns from some of the world’s greatest contemporary artists. Following the success of the first volume Remember to Dream! published in 2023, the book has once again been designed by award-winning book designer Irma Boom, who interprets each handwritten note to capture the character of its author with her ingenious and original typography. Featuring Post-it notes from John Akomfrah, Es Devlin, Kim Gordon, Lubaina Himid, Ho Tzu Nyen, Isaac Julien, KAWS, Kid Cudi, Jeff Koons, Yorgos Lanthimos, Caroline Polachek, Tilda Swinton, Paula Rego, Salman Rushdie, Skepta and many more, this promises to be an exciting second volume in Obrist’s inspiring book series.
