Beyond the boundary at Hauser & Wirth Somerset

The Art Newspaper
15 July 2015

Beyond the boundary of Hauser & Wirth Somerset and its Piet Oudolf-planted meadow there's a cricket field that completes the picture-postcard view of the West Country. The Radić Pavilion, designed originally for London's Serpentine Gallery, now stands at the top of the farmhouse-turned-Hauser & Wirth rural outpost, which celebrates its first birthday this week. Rather than look alien in its new setting, the pavilion seems site-specific, doubling up as a grand stand from which to watch the cricket matches over the fence. It gives Lord's Future Systems-designed media pod a run for its money. So far no batsman, be they of yeoman stock or a hedgie with a second home nearby, has hit the pavilion for six. A well deserved drink will be available in the pavilion's own bar, or better still the Roth Bar in the main farm building. Meanwhile, Jenny Holzer's knock-out exhibition Softer Targets, can be found in the five gallery spaces (until 1 November).
