Wolterton presents two major exhibitions of work by Phyllida Barlow and Daisy Parris as part of its 2026 Art & Culture programme, conceived by Artistic Director and Lead Curator, Simon Oldfield. Installed throughout the Hall’s historic interiors and surrounding grounds, the exhibitions set two distinct contemporary practices against one of Britain’s most assured Palladian houses. Built in 1741, Wolterton’s symmetry and restrained grandeur belong to an architectural language designed to communicate permanence and authority. Against this certainty, both artists act deliberately and with conviction to disrupt and test boundaries, physically, materially and emotionally. At Wolterton, the interaction between contemporary artworks and the Hall’s architecture and landscape becomes central to the programme, allowing each practice to challenge and reframe the historic environment in different ways.
