The Education Lab ‘Mentorship Moments’ explores the transformative power of mentors who impact, nurture and inspire. Henry Taylor has credited artist and educator James Jarvaise with being a pivotal figure in his development as an artist, offering unwavering encouragement, constructive support and critical guidance. In honor of this mentorship, the lab invites reflection on the many mentors in one's life.  

In collaboration with Arts for Healing and Justice Network, California State University Los Angeles Department of Art, Inner-City Arts, Luther Burbank Middle School and Ramón C. Cortines School of Visual and Performing Arts, the Learning team invited over 100 participants, ranging from ages five to adulthood, to create a painting commemorating the meaningful impact of a mentor on their creative journey. In keeping with Taylor’s early practice, the artwork was made using repurposed materials—echoing his philosophy that creativity is not confined to traditional canvases.

This summer, we are pleased to present two multifaceted works by Dieter Roth (1930 – 1998) within the Roth Bar in Somerset.

The dedicated showcase highlights the artist’s profound connection with the island and its natural environment, as well as local materials he was able to work with during time spent in Menorca. The presentation includes early works on paper from the 1970s, Chamotte clay sculptures made during the 1980s and later work in Corten steel. ‘Saludo a los Pájaros II (Salute to the Birds II)’ (2000) is visible beyond the gallery window, surrounded by trees and views of the harbour. Appearing almost weightless, the sculpture denotes Chillida’s mastery of material and form as well as his continuous passion for natural phenomena.

In 2017, Hauser & Wirth partnered with public university Cal State LA to develop a joint community engagement initiative, giving rise to the innovative documentary filmmaking course, Community Impact Media. A training program for student filmmakers, the course pairs students with local nonprofit organizations to produce high-quality, short documentaries. Students are provided with hands-on experience in media production and storytelling mentorship to bolster both their craft and the inspiring work of the nonprofits they feature. In turn, these organizations are left with a visual tool to educate and build constituencies, support funding efforts and encourage participation.

We are pleased to announce representation of London-based artist Christina Kimeze. Replete with expressive materiality, Kimeze’s works invite the viewer’s contemplation in a parallel to the introspection of the figures who are protagonists in her paintings. As Kimeze says, ‘I return to the idea of this intimate inner life and how we spend most of our lives just with ourselves and with our own thoughts.’
