WELLCOME COLLECTION

Smoke and Mirrors: The Psychology of

Magic is the first exhibition of its kind

to focus on the relationship between

magic and psychology. Through spirit

photography and magic props, the

exhibition will seek the truth about

deception, ask how suggestion affects

our senses and consider what it is that

makes us believe in magic.

TATE MODERN

Ironic, irreverent, yet profoundly philosophical,

Franz West was a key figure of European art in

the late 20th century, bringing punk aesthetic

into the pristine spaces of art galleries. Visitors

to this major retrospective will be able to handle

replicas of his Passstücke (Adaptives) – papier-

mâché pieces made to be picked up and moved.

They were a turning point in the relationship

between art and its audience.
