The Hunterian’s new contemporary art exhibition showcases works by internationally renowned filmmaker, artist, stage designer and diarist Derek Jarman, alongside commissioned responses from contemporary artists.

The exhibition is inspired by Jarman’s diary entries from 1989 which detail his performance-installation at Glasgow’s Third Eye Centre, his planting of his acclaimed garden at Prospect Cottage, Dungeness and his work on the film The Garden.

Join Hunterian Curator of Contemporary Art, Dominic Paterson to find out more about the exhibition, Jarman’s work, and new commissions and recently-made works by artists Andrew Black, Luke Fowler, Jade de Montserrat, Tom Walker, Matthew Arthur Williams and Sarah Wood.

Digging in Another Time: Derek Jarman's Modern Nature is exhibiting at the Hunterian Art Gallery from 2 November 2024 – 4 May 2025.
