#OTD in 1920, architect William Whitfield was born! Did you know that the #Hunterian Art Gallery was designed by William Whitfield and Partners? Constructed between 1973–1981, it's an outstanding example of brutalist architecture, with its blocky shapes and hammered concrete.

‘Digging In Another Time: Derek Jarman’s Modern Nature’ opens this weekend at the Hunterian Art Gallery. This exciting new exhibition will feature works largely from the last five years of Jarman’s life, alongside contemporary works by artists working today.

‘Digging in Another Time: Derek Jarman’s Modern Nature’ opens this Saturday! Alongside works by Jarman, the exhibition features works by six contemporary artists: Andrew Black, Luke Fowler, Jade de Montserrat, Tom Walker, Matthew Arthur Williams and Sarah Wood.
