Hauser & Wirth open their Somerset outpost today, adding the rural town of Bruton in Southwest England to its line-up of galleries in
London, New York and Zurich. The site will act as both commercial gallery and
art centre across five buildings on the working Dursdale Farm estate.
Hauser & Wirth Somerset will present a dynamic
programme of exhibitions by international contemporary artists from its books
as well as a residency and educational programme throughout the year. British
sculptor Phyllida Barlow, who joined the Hauser & Wirth family in 2010,
will inaugurate the gallery with a new body of work, titled GIG,
executed in her inimitable style of organised chaos. The exhibition will
coincide with Barlow’s colossal commission, dock, launched earlier this year at
Tate Britain.
