‘Imagined Worlds’ features the work of twenty contemporary artists inspired by Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s visionary poem Kubla Khan. The exhibition curated by Somerset Art Works on behalf of The Friends of Coleridge Society is part of a programme of events timed to coincide with the bicentenary of the poem’s first publication.
The artists have drawn upon different facets of Coleridge’s or their own imagination to create a diverse array of works including painting, drawing, printmaking, collage and photography as well as film.
The artists have responded to the landscapes that inspired his writing two centuries before, and the speculation surrounding its creation whilst others explore places only imagined and the realms of myth and legend. They utilise his words to inspire an intuitive use of shape and form onto which we can project our own interpretation or graphically portray the spaces of their own.
The Central Gallery is situated in Zone B on the Ground Floor, left and right of the main atrium.
