Wouldn’t it be nice… …Wishful thinking in art and design

Sunday&Rex recently visited Somerset House. They are currently showing Wouldn’t it be nice…Wishful thinking in art and Design. We highly recommend a visit on a Wintery afternoon and checking what exhibitions and events are happening there.

Graphic designers åbäke estimate they have 14 aliases in total, they will occupy the studio space in each of their different guises for 14 days, as part of Wouldn’t it be nice, the current exhibition at Somerset House.
