A NEW contemporary art gallery is opening in Bruton next month with its first exhibition.

Fred Levine, formerly Informality, will open with its inaugural exhibition – Landscapes of Time and Memory – n May 17.

Having been hosting displays nomadically in recent years, the new permanent gallery, between Bo Lee and Worman and Hauser & Wirth Somerset, also offers a residency to artists who can develop their practice in the heart of Somerset.

Landscapes of Time and Memory features eight distinct artists, including Rebecca Partridge, Fernando Casasempere, Silke Weißbach, Raffael Bader, Fred Sorrell, Elena Njoabuzia Onwochei Garcia, Abigail Booth, and Peter Matthews.

“This exhibition reflects the shifting relationship between the land and the stories embedded within it, questioning how the earth holds our histories, both collective and personal,” a spokesperson said.

“Each artist offers a unique interpretation, navigating the complexities of memory, place, and the erosion of time through diverse media, perspectives, and cultural lenses.”
