INTERWOVEN IS NOW OPEN Last night we gathered at Killruddery Yard to open Interwoven: Between Cultivation and Wildness. @killruddery Earlier this year, we launched our first Killruddery Arts Open Call, inviting artists to respond to ideas around land, biodiversity, material culture and our place within the natural world. We received almost 200 applications, from which 39 artists were selected. Interwoven explores ecology and human intervention, cycles of cultivation and decay, and the tension between worked landscapes and native wildness. The exhibition enters into dialogue with Killruddery itself - a working farm, historic gardens and woodlands, shaped by generations of cultivation, stewardship and change. At its heart, Interwoven asks us to recognise ourselves as part of nature and to consider where the natural world ends, if indeed it does, and human influence begins. A huge thank you to all 39 participating artists who trusted us with their work and to everyone who joined us last night to celebrate them. Thank you to Dr Matthew Jebb, Irish botanist and former Director of the National Botanic Gardens, for so generously opening the exhibition and sharing his perspective with us. Over the next while we will share their work & stories. And to Arabella Bishop @arabellabishopartadvisory , Emilia Jones @luckylot and Harsh Bhavsar @harshxspace , who joined Fionnuala Brabazon @astonardee on the selection panel; to Harsh, who worked alongside Fionnuala on the curation and exhibition design; and to curator Eamonn Maxwell @eamonnmaxwell whose encouragement helped us takes steps to launch our first Open Call in motion. We hope Interwoven might be the beginning of an annual Open Call and group exhibition at Killruddery Arts. INTERWOVEN: BETWEEN CULTIVATION AND WILDNESS 12 September – 8 November 2026 Killruddery Yard, Bray, Co. Wicklow Admission free.

INTERWOVEN Between Cultivation and Wildness 12th September – 8th November 2026 ABOUT THE EXHIBITION Interwoven explores ecology and human intervention, cycles of cultivation and decay, and the tension between worked landscapes and native wildness. The exhibition enters into dialogue with Killruddery Estate – a place shaped by agriculture, history and everyday public life. A place whose stewardship of land, guided by a commitment to sustaining ecology and biodiversity, locates these artistic enquiries within a continually evolving landscape. At its heart, Interwoven asks us to recognise ourselves as part of nature and to question where the natural world ends and human influence begins. It presents the land as a shared, evolving fabric, shaped by ecological processes and the ways in which we inhabit it. The participating artists were selected through a Killruddery Arts open call inviting work connected to place, material and process.
