‘Material Landscape’ features new works by six artist-makers that simultaneously challenge and embrace the potential of their material, interrogating the limits and possibilities of clay, wood, metal and stone. Through a dedication to process, the works explore the fluid dialogue between material and maker, form and function.
Occupying a former farmstead in Bruton, Hauser & Wirth Somerset is home to a vibrant program of art exhibitions, events, learning activities and artists’ residencies, which connect with the local community and landscape.
Hauser & Wirth is pleased to announce the first US exhibition of the gallery’s UK-based initiative Make Hauser & Wirth, which was launched in Somerset in 2018. The galleries showcase exceptional contemporary craft by emerging and established artist-makers from around the world.
In a special presentation by Make Hauser & Wirth Somerset, a collective of established artist-makers showcase new and evolving notions of place and material investigation through an expressive response to nature and landscape.
Since 2018, the gallery has presented work by over 50 artist-makers from around the world, providing valuable insights into the working processes and rich narratives of their practices.
There is an emphasis on pieces commissioned specifically for Make, some of which are created in response to Somerset and the South West, employing locally sourced materials. All works exhibited are for sale.
To coincide with the diverse and collaborative exhibition program, the gallery hosts a number of participatory experiences including talks, workshops, residencies and community events.
