Emma Gibbons | Rather be at Ascot

Emma Gibbons
Rather Be At Ascot
Unique gallery commission | Original

Rather Be At Ascot is the most site-specific work in Emma Gibbons' entire catalogue — a gallery commission made specifically for Creed Gallery, about the place where the gallery is, available exclusively here. The phrase operates in the same register as her other Rather Be works — Rather Be In Ibiza, the aspiration for somewhere other than where you are — but with a specifically local resonance: Ascot as the destination rather than the departure point, the place to be rather than the place to escape from.

For collectors who know Ascot — for whom the Royal Meeting is an annual occasion rather than a distant aspiration — this is a work of genuine specificity and wit. Gibbons' pharmaceutical pill art language is deployed here in service of the most local and personal of aspirational statements. Unique, not replicated elsewhere, available only through Creed Gallery, Ascot. For collectors across Berkshire, Surrey, and London.
