Place, the current exhibition at Roche Court Sculpture Park at the New Art Centre, Wiltshire, centres around four new works by Edmund de Waal; this place, which are a series of Kilkenny stone benches, and two other installations titled landfall and particular things.
Made from fossil-studded Irish stone with traces of silver, the benches embody the heritage and geology of our islands. Surrounding them are Ian Stephenson’s cosmic paintings, evoking the rhythms of the sky, John Hubbard’s dramatic landscapes, and Hubert Dalwood’s shining, space-age sculptures.

De Waal's piece some dreams of speaking is on view as part of the Museum Voorlinden's current exhibition The Life of Things. This exhibition examines what the objects around us convey, about our relationships, systems, and the meanings we create through them.

Playing with Fire, a collaboration between Edmund de Waal, CLAY Museum of Ceramic Art Denmark and Kunstsilo in Norway, was on view at the Kunstsilo before its final stop at The Hepworth Wakefield, West Yorkshire, in 2025.
This exhibition brought together a significant number of Salto’s ceramic works from the CLAY Museum and The Tangen Collection at Kunstsilo, the world’s largest collection of Nordic modernist art. Salto’s ceramics were shown alongside his lesser-known and unseen works on paper, illustrations, writings and textiles, and a major new installation by de Waal which reflects on Salto’s enduring influence.
“Axel Salto is one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century. He created a unique body of ceramic work that continues to fascinate me. His sculptures seem to be on the point of change: glazes are caught in flux. Vases swell as if to burst. He cared about the ways that patterns change course, shift energies, how an animal becomes a person, a man metamorphoses into a stag. Ovid ran powerfully through his life. That moment of change, transformation, is the moment when poetry occurs.”
