Pale Carnage

Nobuyoshi Araki, Athanasios Argianas, Ulla von Brandenburg, Tom Burr, Gillian Carnegie, Steven Claydon, Cerith Wyn Evans, Lothar Hempel, Mark Leckey, Aïda Ruilova, Dirk Stewen, JD Williams

Pale Carnage presents work by twelve international artists, and addresses ideas of cruelty, desire, beauty, decadence, voyeurism and violence. The works are evocative of late nineteenth and early twentieth century history and culture, and examine the relationship between classicism and modernism, and their unsettling associations with fascism.
