Tourist's Eye Exhibit Opens in London

donkey

The art of tourism exhibit that premiered in Chicago earlier this year is now a traveler itself. Universal Experience: Life, Art and the Tourist's Eye opened yesterday at the Hayward Gallery in London.

A collection of 50 works by artists from around the globe, the show explores the state of the tourism industry from all angles, expressing artistic views on the transformative power of a world in which 700 million people travel internationally each year.

In conjunction with the show, every Friday night in October there will be a 5pm outdoor viewing of Andy Warhol's epic 8-hour Empire. Also in the works is a collaborative film project, The Universal Tourist, which will create a documentary of holiday photos and home movies shared by the public. It will premiere on December 10 at the National Film Theatre.
