Private View: ‘Djordje Ozbolt. Brave New World’

Please join us for a private view to celebrate the opening of Djordje Ozbolt. Brave New World

Hauser & Wirth Somerset is pleased to announce a new solo exhibition by Djordje Ozbolt, following the artist’s residency at The Maltings studios in Bruton from May 2016 to January 2017.

The exhibition ‘Brave New World’ will feature an entirely new body of work created and conceived during his time in residency. The show’s title borrows its name from the 1932 science fiction classic by Aldous Huxley, and is a reminder of the renowned line from Shakespeare’s The Tempest – with both references rousing feelings of nostalgia and wonderment.

Djordje Ozbolt is known for his playful subversion of history, memory, and contemporary culture, with ‘Brave New World’ being a development in both scale and ambition.

The exhibition will take over the first three galleries at Hauser & Wirth Somerset, to include paintings, drawings, sculptures, and installations, along with interventions in the architecture and the landscape of Durslade Farm.
