Mat Collishaw in Fountains Abbey & Studley Royal

For his first solo show in Yorkshire, renowned artist Mat Collishaw has created two striking new installations for ‘folly!’ at World Heritage Site and National Trust property Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal near Ripon in North Yorkshire.

Nestled in the dramatic 18th century landscape surrounding Fountains Abbey, the Banqueting House and The Temple of Piety will be transformed by Collishaw’s immersive and enchanting installations. Drawing upon the history of buildings designed for revelry and reflection, the works are optical illusions that echo ghosts from the past.
