About this event
Wander_Land
An exhibition of sculpture by 30 members of the Royal Society of Sculptors.
Exhibition:
Inspired by a pilgrimage route that passes through Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens, Wander_Land explores our relationship between landscape and wandering.
Description:
Wander_Land explores our relationship between landscape and wandering. The exhibition is a next step, and something of a sequel, to the 2022 Chichester Cathedral exhibition, Together We Rise, in which Royal Society of Sculptors members reflected on their experience of, and response to, COVID lockdowns.
Wandering, in a conscious sense, suggests links with asceticism, joy, protest, well-being, environmental awareness and harmony.
In addition, and probably most closely associated with the location of Wander_Land, is the act of pilgrimage; St Michael’s Way, one of the Camino routes which leads to Santiago de Compostella in Northwest Spain, passes through Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens.
The responses, by the artists, to the theme of this exhibition are varied and intriguing. There is humour, ambiguity, beauty, environmental critique, and playfulness.
Wander_Land features work in a wide range of media and sizes, placed outside, and in three gallery spaces, on floor, wall and ceiling.
The work is selected by the artists themselves.
Penzance-based art writer Martin Holman is advising throughout.

Accessibility
Details
There are a number of reserved parking spaces in the main car park for registered disabled badge holders and both Tremenheere Kitchen and Tremenheere Gallery have designated drop off points. Toilet facilities can be found in Tremenheere Gallery, Tremenheere Kitchen and in a separate toilet block located next to Tremenheere Gallery. All three facilities have step free and wheelchair access and each contain at least one fully accessible toilet that is fitted with an emergency pull chord. A baby change area is located in Tremenheere Kitchen. Due to the natural contours of the land, access to the gardens is severely limited for those with physical disabilities and the majority of the gardens are unsuitable for mobility scooters, wheelchair users and prams. If you have concerns about accessibility, please mention it to someone on the ticket desk when purchasing tickets, they will be able to advise you and suggest appropriate paths and routes through the gardens.
