Restored to Glory: The Story of the Burgh House Gates
Until Sunday 24 July
The iconic, listed wrought-iron gates that form the entrance to Burgh House were added in the early years of the 18th century. As part of our Renaissance Appeal to secure the future of the House, the gates and brickwork have been painstakingly restored to their original splendour in a £27,000 conservation project. This exhibition will shed light on the process taken in these works, alongside a selection of drawings, paintings and photographs of the gates over the years. We will also be showing documents, photographs and objects charting the progress of the rest of the work that forms our appeal to safeguard the future of Burgh House, and the history of our campaigns and projects to protect, improve and repair this Grade-I listed building since the charity was formed to rescue the House in 1979. |

Claudia Piscitelli: Nothing’s Stable
Until Sunday 26 June
Keats’ poetry and the tragedy of his early death are well known, and have been mythologised through a wealth of books, film and exhibitions that have explored his life and work. This exhibition by Claudia Piscitelli focuses in part on his personal letters, which she identifies as physical evidence of an innate creativity that spilled over into his private writing. The nature of the creative mind is reflected in Claudia Piscitelli’s own art work, as she reacts to Keats’ letters with her own drawings and site-specific interpretation. This exhibition emblematically responds not only to Keats as a great poet but as a man, as well as the very nature of creativity. |
