Workplace is pleased to announce artist James Cabaniuk’s latest exhibition In Holes and Corners, at The Italian Garden, Great Ambrook. Set to run for a limited time, 25 – 27 September, this site-specific project, supported by historian and writer Kate Hext, invites visitors to explore the historical significance of this Edwardian Garden as a private refuge for its curator Arthur Smith Graham, while reflecting on contemporary queer experiences. 

The Italian Garden, built in 1909 by Graham and designed by architect Thomas Henry Lyon, both gay men who lived in an era of criminalised repression, served has a hidden space for personal expression and intimate gatherings. Forgotten for decades, the garden has since been carefully restored by the current owners.
