- **Event Name**: Opening Night — Banks Violette (US)
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 23 Jan, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Fri, 23 Jan, 2026 at 10:00 pm
- **Event Description**: TICK TACK proudly presents 'Wish You Were Here', a new site-specific exhibition by renowned American artist Banks Violette, with an immersive sound work by Stephen O’Malley (Sunn O)))).

In Wish You Were Here, Banks Violette (Ithaca, 1973) presents a monumental sculptural installation specifically produced for TICK TACK’s brutalist exhibition space (Léon Stynen's The Sundial from 1955). Violette's work is both an intimate self-examination and radical social critique, a distinctive fusion of the frayed edges of American society with the aesthetic visual language of the hardcore punk underground scene. Throughout TICK TACK’s three exhibition floors, an immersive musical piece composed by Stephen O’Malley—founder of drone metal band Sunn O))) and a frequent collaborator with Violette—resonates.
