‘Rachel Scott. weaving my world’ is a homage to the artist’s individual style of homemaking. Just like the floors, walls and spaces of her domestic life, the exhibition celebrates her vast creative output.

Award-winning designer and weaver Maria Sigma is our inaugural artist-maker-in-residence this fall. Specialising in ethical hand-woven textiles for interiors, her work celebrates a slow making ethic and ‘zero waste’ design, combining a contemporary approach to traditional weaving techniques and focusing on raw natural materials and texture.

‘Within.Without’ is our first Make Hauser & Wirth exhibition in Switzerland. It features multidisciplinary works by eight established artist-makers, spanning disciplines from wood, ceramic and gemstone to metal, glass and concrete.
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.
Since 2018, the gallery has presented work by over 80 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.
