Summary:

'The Lie of the Land' charts how the British landscape has been radically transformed by changes in free time and leisure activities since hunting and shooting, the recreations of the aristocracy, were enjoyed on the rolling hills of their private estates. The exhibition's ambition to capture a visionary spirit of grand designs tempered by the realities of political expediency, across a time-period of three centuries. Featuring the work of almost 100 influential cultural figures, including: ARCHITECTS: Derek Walker, Archigram, Norman Foster, Buckminster Fuller, Superstudio, Edwin Lutyens, Joseph Paxton, Cedric Price, Alison and Peter Smithson. ARTISTS: John Berger, Jeremy Deller, Tracey Emin, Rose English, Thomas Gainsborough, Richard Hamilton, Linder, L.S. Lowry, Henry Moore, William Morris, Paul Nash, Nils Norman, Eduardo Paolozzi, Bridget Riley, John Ruskin, Yinka Shonibare MBE, David Shrigley, Jo Spence, James Tissot, J.M.W. Turner, Rachel Whiteread, and Stephen Willats.
