NATURE

Exhibition One: NATURE 1st August - 13th September 2024. Curated by Patric Rogers. In ‘Nature’ artists sought to rediscover, through the rich tapestry of Gawain’s poem, the ancient function of artistic practice as gestures of reverence for the cyclical nature of life, where the ancient and the contemporary converge.

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is a masterpiece text of the Middle Ages. The poem tells the story of King Arthur's headstrong young nephew who after a dramatic bargain with a mysterious figure faces a long journey in which he must, quite literally, keep his head. Into the Wyld explores the heritage and mythology of the poem through the lens of contemporary art.
