This pop up exhibition installed in the Musgrove Gallery at MPH is a fabulous project in partnership with South West Heritage Trust and artist Zoe Snape in our Paediatric inpatients wards. The project was delivered in March and April with children and their families and carers exploring the work of Alexander Hollweg. Children created colourful block puzzles to keep. The exhibition shows their work and some originals Artworks by Alexander Hollweg which are on loan from South West Heritage Trust.
Alexander Hollweg worked for many years from a studio at Nettlecombe in West Somerset, creating art that translates the ordinary and everyday into surprising, often humorous, reflections on modern life. The Museum of Somerset recently held the largest ever show of Hollweg’s art, featuring paintings and sculpture from across the five decades of his career. As part of the exhibition’s engagement programme the Museum of Somerset commissioned artist Zoe Snape to deliver workshops inspired by Hollweg’s work in the children’s ward at Musgrove Park Hospital. The programme was funded through the Department of Education.
