Dialogue between form and content presents a compelling series of oil paintings that delve into the complexities of human identity, emotion, and perception.

Doru’s work captures the tension between the visible and the unseen — fleeting sensations, fragmented memories, and the silent emotions that define our shared humanity.

Throughout the museum’s historic house, ‘The as-yet unseen’ presents site-responsive installations by Grace Weir, curated by Bridget de León. Created in response to the Herschel family’s home, the exhibition considers observation as a form of continuous and highly attuned looking, grounded in the rhythms of domestic life. Taking its title from William Herschel’s phrase for the as-yet-undiscovered planet Neptune, the project brings together new works that share a commitment to patient, repeated attention to what can be seen, what remains just beyond view, and what may only become visible through sustained, collective looking.
