The Long Dark


Peter Linde Busk

Peter Linde Busk

05 Dec 2009 - 20 Feb 2010

Curated by Michelle Cotton, 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.
