Travelling Light is a joint collaboration between WW Gallery and Pharos Gallery. The exhibition will open first in London and then Venice, within the orbit of the Venice Biennale, in a palazzo between the Accademia Galleries and the Peggy Guggenheim Collection.

With its gambling houses and beautiful courtesans, a trip to Venice represented, in the words of J J Cale, a “one way ticket to ecstasy…”
