No But Where Are You Really From?
4 September- 2 October 2023
11 artists respond to the question:
NO BUT WHERE ARE YOU REALLY FROM?
We live in a globalised world of international travel and mass migration
Over the centuries, peoples, animals, plants and pathogens have continuously crisscrossed the Earth’s oceans and continents. So, what part does place still play in identity? Curated by Bakul Patki, Season 3 of The Gallery presents the response of 11 international artists to the question, No But Where Are You Really From?.
From 4 September 2023, look out for 11 powerful artworks, which will be exhibited on thousands of outdoor billboards and digital screens across the four nations of the UK. They are all part of The Gallery, a cultural institution conceived by Artichoke, in collaboration with public artist Martin Firrell, that aims to challenge traditional models of viewing art, by bringing it to you. The Gallery is the result of a unique partnership with the UK advertising industry including the industry leaders, Clear Channel, JCDecaux and Alight Media
Our mission is to make art accessible through bold and unafraid exhibitions that appear as part of people’s daily lives.
*The term Out-of-Home refers to any visual advertising media found outside of the home, including on-street billboards, digital screens, bus-shelters and train stations.
About Season 3
For Season 3 of The Gallery, we have invited 11 artists from four continents to share their unique perspectives.
Whether by subverting imagery traditionally used to keep people out, or using AI to explore people’s presumptions of identity, each artist speaks profoundly to this question, ‘No But Where Are You Really From?’. In bringing these works together, and challenging the viewer to consider and reconsider the experiences of others, I hope we’re able to stimulate conversation, shift perspectives and, ultimately, inspire empathy.
