| Gabrielle Hoad & Megan Calver | Salt-cat (keeps them at home) | 2020 | Work in progress for Open-Up, Hestercombe Gardens |
Open-Up is a brand new series of outdoor artworks commissioned by Hestercombe Gallery in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
This new exhibition features eight artists with intimate knowledge of Hestercombe, many of whom have responded to the landscapes on the estate in the past. The works, on display across all three of the period gardens at Hestercombe and beyond, range from subtle interventions involving copper plant tags, pigeon rings and galvanised nails, to bold stacked colours, giant bunting and orchard ladders.
All artwork will be installed and opened at different times during August and the beginning of September.
The show centres on a flagship commission by Richard Long Jackdaw Line in Hestercombe’s Georgian Landscape Garden. Other artists include Sarah Bennett, Megan Calver & Gabrielle Hoad, Jon England, Jo Lathwood, Philippa Lawrence and Lucy Soni.
Open Wednesday to Sunday each week, 10am – 6pm (last entry 3.30pm). Due to current Covid-19 restrictions, all visits must be pre-booked online by 5pm on the day before you wish to travel.
Hestercombe Gardens, Cheddon Fitzpaine, Taunton, Somerset TA2 8LG
