Curated by Michelle Cotton, The Long Dark takes a text by John Ruskin, ‘The Nature of Gothic’, as its starting point for an exploration of ‘medievalism’ in contemporary art.
Bringing together an international group of artists based in Britain and Germany, the exhibition examines a revival of interest in pre-modern techniques and methods of artistic production, along with the ideals and aspirations they bring with them.
The exhibition features work by Eva Berendes, Simon Bill, Alexandra Bircken, Nicholas Byrne, Raphael Danke, Peter Linde Busk, Kalin Lindena, Maria Loboda, and Bernd Ribbeck.
