  "textContent": "* * *\n\n**Artist:** Banks Violette\n**Title:** Wish You Were Here\n**Venue:** TICK TACK, Antwerpen, Belgien\n**Dates:** 23. Januar – 21. März 2026\n**Sound:** Stephen O’Malley\n**Curator:** Maria Abramenko\n**Photography:** Matěj Doležel\nVenue | Banks Violette IG | Submit\n\n* * *\n\n## Absence as a Structural Condition\n\n _Wish You Were Here_ is a **site-specific installation** conceived for **TICK TACK’s brutalist exhibition space in Antwerp** , unfolding vertically across the building’s basement and upper floors.\n\nThe architecture is not a backdrop but an active condition, shaping how the work is encountered through levels, thresholds and compressed sightlines. From the street, the exhibition appears both exposed and withheld, suspended within the façade and held in tension by the structure itself.\n\n> “Absence is not a theme to be processed; it is the condition under which the exhibition operates.” _-Maria Abramenko, Curator_\n\nViolette’s installation extends across floors, refusing immediate legibility. Illuminated letterforms, exposed wiring and provisional supports foreground construction rather than completion.\n\n****Banks Violette**** __- Wish You Were Here__ , 2026 - Build-up view, TICK TACK, Antwerp\n\n****Banks Violette**** __Untitled (The End)__ , 2026 MDF, aluminium, light bulbs, lacquer paint, wooden scaffold, electrical wiring The: 206 × 270 cm - End: 206 × 310 cm - Installation view, ****TICK TACK, Antwerp**** - Courtesy of the artist and TICK TACK\n\n****Banks Violette**** __- Wish You Were Here__ , 2026 - Installation view, ****TICK TACK, Antwerp**** - Left:  __Untitled (Discoball)__ , 2026 Metal, mirror, steel, salt, gas, chain, fire - Diameter 55 cm - Right: Exterior view featuring  __Untitled (The End)__ , 2026 MDF, aluminium, light bulbs, lacquer paint, wooden scaffold, electrical wiring The: 206 × 270 cm - End: 206 × 310 cm - Courtesy of the artist and TICK TACK\n\nA smashed disco ball rests like a residue of interrupted celebration, while cables, ballast and scaffolding remain visible, insisting on strain, duration and physical load. A continuous sound composition by Stephen O’Malley permeates the entire building, binding the architectural levels into a single experiential field.\n\nRather than resolving into narrative or symbolism, the exhibition operates as a condition. Forms persist without closure, actions continue without explanation. Movement through TICK TACK becomes a negotiation between presence and absence, visibility and obstruction.\n\n _Wish You Were Here_ positions the exhibition as a spatial situation to be entered, not a statement to be decoded.\n\nInstagram Tick Tack \nInstagram Banks Violette\n\n* * *\n\n## Exhibition View:\n\nInstallation view, ****TICK TACK, Antwerp Banks Violette**** __Untitled (The End)__ , 2026MDF, aluminium, light bulbs, lacquer paint, wooden scaffold, electrical wiring The: 206 × 270 cm - End: 206 × 310 cm - Courtesy of the artist and TICK TACK****Banks Violette**** __Untitled (Universal Pictures)__ , 2026 Video, in collaboration with ZEV DEANS - Installation view, ****TICK TACK, Antwerp**** - Courtesy of the artist and TICK TACK****Banks Violette**** __- Untitled (Universal Pictures)__ , 2026 - Video, in collaboration with ZEV DEANS - Video still - Courtesy of the artist and TICK TACK ****Banks Violette**** __-Wish You Were Here__ , 2026 - Installation view, ****TICK TACK, Antwerp**** - Foreground:  __Untitled (Discoball)__ , 2026 Metal, mirror, steel, salt, gas, chain, fire Diameter 55 cm - Background:  __Untitled (The End)__ , 2026 MDF, aluminium, light bulbs, lacquer paint, wooden scaffold, electrical wiring The: 206 × 270 cm - End: 206 × 310 cm - Courtesy of the artist and TICK TACK****Banks Violette**** __Untitled (Discoball)__ , 2026 Metal, mirror, steel, salt, gas, chain, fire Diameter 55 cm - Detail view - Courtesy of the artist and TICK TACKInstallation view (unlit), ****TICK TACK, Antwerp - Banks Violette**** __Untitled (The End)__ , 2026 MDF, aluminium, light bulbs, lacquer paint, wooden scaffold, electrical wiring The: 206 × 270 cm - Courtesy of the artist and TICK TACKBanks Violette, Untitled (The End), 2026, mdf, aluminium, light bulbs, lacquer paint, wooden scaffold, electrical wiring, The: 206 x 270 cm, End: 206 x 310 cm - Exhibition __Wish You Were Here__ , 2026 Exhibition view - Courtesy of the artist and TICK TACK****Banks Violette**** ,  __Wish You Were Here__ , 2026, exhibition view, TICK TACK, Antwerp - Courtesy of the artist and TICK TACK****TICK TACK, Antwerp - Banks Violette**** __- Wish You Were Here__ , 2026 Exhibition view - Courtesy of the artist and TICK TACKInstallation view (unlit), ****TICK TACK, Antwerp - Banks Violette**** __Untitled (The End)__ , 2026 MDF, aluminium, light bulbs, lacquer paint, wooden scaffold, electrical wiring The: 206 × 270 cm - Courtesy of the artist and TICK TACK\n\n* * *\n\n## Related Readings:\n\nArtist in Focus\n\n## Ruo-Hsin Wu: Floating in the Dark\n\nRead More\n\nExhibition\n\n## Villa Bernasconi: Stitches – A Haunted House and Other Ghost Stories\n\nRead More\n\nInterview\n\n## Hetty Douglas on Emotion, Abstraction, and Raw Material\n\nRead More",
