On the occasion of ‘Gustav Metzger. And Then Came the Environment’ at Hauser & Wirth Downtown Los Angeles, local art students from Cal State LA and ArtCenter were invited to the gallery for a walkthrough of the exhibition. Curatorial Senior Director Kate Fowle and the Learning team then facilitated a discussion about the pathbreaking late artist’s work and legacy. 

From Monday 25 September – Friday 6 October, Hauser & Wirth Somerset will host a two-week residency for a second year with students from the Arts and Place MA course at Dartington Arts School. This year’s residents artists, Rosie May Jones and Liz Horn, will develop work responding to the theme of ‘Remember Nature,’ a project by artist and activist Gustav Metzger.  

During a two-week residency in Somerset, four students from the Arts and Place MA course at Dartington Arts School are invited to develop work responding to the theme of ‘Remember Nature,’ a project by artist and activist Gustav Metzger. The partnership launched in 2022 with the first cohort of students, including Raman Feiz, the recipient of the 2022 Gustav Metzger Scholarship, Imogen Mansfield, Emma Yorke and Mary Waltham. We look forward to welcoming new participants taking part in the 2023 residency this autumn.

The exhibition ‘Gustav Metzger’ at our Somerset gallery in 2021 is our first to receive a carbon emissions calculation. The gallery team worked to produce an environmentally-responsible exhibition and achieve a low carbon footprint by actively discussing the environmental impact of the exhibition and the sustainability interests at the heart of Metzger’s practice.

With summer in full swing, plan a trip or experience some of our spaces and exhibitions from home. Our new galleries in Menorca and Monaco are now open and feature never before seen works by Mark Bradford and Louise Bourgeois respectively. Below is a list of exhibitions open to the public this summer in each of our locations.

We are proud to partner with Dartington Arts School by supporting a student on the ‘Arts and Place’ MA course, starting April 2022 until January 2023. The Gustav Metzger Foundation Scholarship will be eligible to a student with refugee status or have an application for asylum in the UK. The gallery’s support will include tuition fees for the one-year course, living expenses and associated residency location at Hauser & Wirth Somerset for two weeks. This unique collaboration is part of Hauser & Wirth’s ongoing commitment to providing opportunities for equal access to higher education, whilst working to establish meaningful connections that continue Gustav Metzger’s legacy and vision.
