Disclosures & Dialogues in (im)materiality: Hestercombe Unfolds

A series of five dialogue events at Hestercombe House and Gardens, Taunton, Somerset entitled Disclosures and Dialogues in [im]materiality: Hestercombe Unfolds led by artists Megan Calver, Philippa Lawrence and Sarah Bennett, with Hestercombe’s Curator Tim Martin, Archivist Kim Legate, Head Gardener Claire Greenslade and Kate Best, Independent Curator.

The aim of the series is to foster dialogues by bringing together experts from diverse disciplines to envisage the material and immaterial possibilities of Hestercombe’s heritage and its future. The sessions will run concurrent to and draw upon the initial research that Calver, Lawrence and Bennett have been undertaking in preparation for a site responsive exhibition at Hestercombe in late 2018.
