Art What’s On

Detail

Delve into Gibside's past through a new and exciting installation by mixed media artist Fiona Curran and visit her architectural folly by the Orangery. You can discover Fiona's Your Sweetest Empire is to Please, sitting alongside Mary Eleanor's original orangery within the gardens. Fiona's artwork reflects her interest in historical landscape, ownership and gender politics, and has created a folly that explores Mary Eleanor's love for botany during a time when women enjoying hobbies was slightly taboo.
