Wilder than Wildness itself. New works by five artist-makers in response to Oudolf Field, a 1.5-acre perennial meadow designed by Piet Oudolf at Hauser & Wirth Somerset. The works evoke the immersive experience of the garden, drawing upon Oudolf’s philosophy that rather than copying nature, the intention is to create a feeling, deepening our connection with its seasons and cycles. Wed – Sat, 10 am – 1 pm and 2 – 4 pm. Hauser & Wirth, Durslade Farm, Dropping Lane, Bruton, Somerset BA10 0NL
Until 6 March
