Body of Glass – After Caravaggio

The exhibition addresses the body as being simultaneously object and subject of experience. Echoing Caravaggio’s chiaroscuro idiom in its overall aesthetic, the video work concerns the human flesh and its reaction to harassment set in the contrasts of light and shade.
The exhibition is open between Monday and Friday (9.00am - 6.00pm) and Saturday (9.00am - noon).

Until 26 August
