Folded: new exhibition of site-specific work by first minimalist artist-in-residence at historic Leighton House

The dramatic, swirling drapery in the work of Frederick, Lord Leighton, and the spectacular Middle Eastern-inspired interiors of Leighton House provide the reference points for Folded, a new exhibition of unique site-specific work by minimalist sculptor Clare Burnett.

This year’s Artist in Residence at Leighton House Museum Burnett has explored connections between Leighton's work and house and the forms of abandoned paper and card left and blown around outside in London’s streets. The exhibition prompts us to look afresh at Leighton’s work as well as notice things in the outdoor environment that might never have been noticed before.
