On 20 March 2015, Hauser & Wirth Somerset will launch the Radić Pavilion (the Serpentine Gallery 2014 Pavilion), designed by Chilean architect Smiljan Radić, at Durslade Farm, Bruton. To celebrate the launch of the pavilion, a season of exhibitions, events and installations exploring the nature of collaboration between architecture and other creative disciplines has been programmed.
The development of Durslade Farm into Hauser & Wirth Somerset marries renovation, conservation and new build, the historic and the contemporary. The Radić Pavilion, which has been installed at the end of Oudolf Field – the garden designed by Piet Oudolf – sits naturally within this landscape. A dialogue has been created between the gallery complex and pavilion, and their relationship with the garden. Occupying a footprint of some 350 square metres, the pavilion depicts a semi- translucent, cylindrical structure, designed to resemble a shell resting on large quarry stones.
