The largest solo exhibition of the Nigerian multimedia artist to date, Home’s Horizons showcases Tuggar’s career-long exploration of the ways in which technology has been used to reshape domestic spaces during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The exhibition features nineteen large-scale photo-montages, six sculptures, one projected video, and a monumental augmented reality installation, commissioned by the Davis Museum. Tuggar’s innovative use of collage across media provides a vital and timely investigation into the geopolitical and cultural potential of new technologies.

1964
Philip Johnson commissioned Warhol to make a large-scale work for the exterior for his pavilion for the New York World’s Fair, along with other artists. Warhol’s provocative response, a multiple portrait of ‘Most Wanted Men’ was installed a few days before the opening but was deemed too inflammatory and contrary to the upbeat image of the World’s Fair and the work was taken down.
