Wish You Were Here: 111 Artists, 111 Notes

by Hans Ulrich Obrist (Editor)

In this ongoing and open-ended project, famed Swiss art curator and critic Hans Ulrich Obrist collects an abundance of dreams, drawings, musings, thoughts for the day, jokes, quotations, questions, answers, poems and puns from some of the world's greatest contemporary artists. Obrist shares these notes with his Instagram followers, combining the slow composition of the written note and the velocity of the Instagram post, in an endeavor to revive the art of handwriting from within an ever-advancing digital age.
Following the success of the first volume, Remember to Dream! (2023), this book gathers 111 such notes from 111 artists and cultural figures into an accessible and playful format. Wish You Were Here was designed by award-winning designer Irma Boom, who interprets each handwritten note to capture the character of its author with her ingenious and original typography.
