To mark the 300th birthday of Thomas Chippendale, one of England’s greatest designers, The Hepworth Wakefield is collaborating with Nostell (Wakefield’s National Trust house and garden) and artist Giles Round to explore Chippendale’s legacy and the relationships between art, design and the domestic sphere. Round will create installations at both locations that examine how homes have become important staging grounds for dialogues between art, design and the domestic sphere.
