Magical Fantasy [2021]

In 2021, Group X and artist Morag Myerscough created Magical Fantasy to premiere at the 2021 Firefly Music Festival, a four-day music festival in Dover, Delaware, with the support of event producer AEG. Through the artist and AEG’s dedication to reuse it has been relocated to the Navy Yard in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for the public to enjoy through October 2022!

“Magical Fantasy is totally about escapism,” artist Morag Myerscough elaborates. “A place to be alone or to share with others. An embracing arch to draw you through into another world and a place where you can let your imagination take over. Three dwelling structures to spend time in to dream, dance, sing - what ever it makes you feel. They are deliberately small to have a feeling of intensity. The colours and patterns are intense to stimulate the brain. The work is there for people to enjoy and embrace. It was so important to me that the work found the perfect permanent home. As an artist I am very aware that making temporary work that is only up for a few days can be very bad for the environment and we must take responsibility for the work we put into the world, to be aware what materials use their sources and how important giving work as long a life as possible, and then at the end of it that it can be recycled and put back into the system not in landfill.”
