Site-specific bar artwork in Bruton
A site-specific artwork created by artist Oddur Roth in Bruton, Somerset.
First conceived by Dieter Roth in the late 1970s, Roth Bar is a dynamic and changing installation, and a continuing element in the Roths' cross-generational practice.
Artist Oddur Roth, grandson of the late German-born Swiss artist Dieter Roth, lived and worked in Bruton from January to March 2024, and together with his team created Roth Bar within the Threshing Barn at Hauser & Wirth Somerset.
Like its first iteration in Somerset in 2014, Roth Bar is composed of salvaged materials and locally-sourced objects from reclamation yards, incorporating monitors showing videos of previous bars, musical instruments and carpentry scraps.
The objects you see are things you might know from childhood or have had in your home. It gives it a comfortable atmosphere, inviting you to stay and lose track of time.
