The town’s Haarlem Gallery will showcase the work of four contemporary artists, Annalee Davis, Feral Practice, Deirdre O’Mahoney and Pauline Woolley.

Their re-rural exhibition, which runs from September 12 to October 11, 2020, takes viewers on a journey from the outer reaches of the skies to the forgotten practices associated with land use and the surface of the soil to deep into the earth’s hidden underground networks.
