 The National Trust at Stourhead is presenting its first major exhibition of contemporary sculpture in the 18th-century landscape garden from 4 September until 29 October, 2006 in collaboration with the Hotbath Gallery, a subsidiary of the City of Bath College with support from the Arts Council. The contemporary art has been commissioned and selected with consideration for the art, history, nature and structure of Stourhead. The unique commissions are direct responses to the classical landscape and include works and installations from engaging British artists such Elisabeth Frink, Gavin Turk, Abigail Fallis and Keiran Brown. The development of this show in a world-famous landscape garden has created debate between the exhibition's curator and the National Trust where complex decisions have been made about the relevance and positioning of each work. The project also involves an artist in residence in association with the British School at Rome which runs from 21 August to 1 October with opportunities for the public to see work in progress. Additional links with the Holburne Museum of Art in Bath and a series of educational and public events are planned to engage a wide audience. OPENING HOURS
