About ‘An Uncommon Thread’
‘An Uncommon Thread’ will feature 10 contemporary artists living and working in the UK, highlighting the transformative power of unconventional mediums in evoking personal and collective memories. Through individual investigations of identity, tradition, nature, fantasy, and the environment, the exhibition will invite viewers to engage with the rich stories woven into each work, driven by a curiosity and inventive approach to materiality and process.

This multidisciplinary group exhibition follows ‘Present Tense’ (2024) and is part of an ongoing initiative at our Somerset gallery that champions emerging and mid-career artists beyond Hauser & Wirth’s roster. The exhibition is in collaboration with Alice Black, Berntson Bhattacharjee, Carl Freedman Gallery, Gathering, Ginny on Frederick, Pippy Houldsworth Gallery and Union Pacific.

‘An Uncommon Thread’ will be on view from Saturday 8 February – Sunday 27 April 2025.
