DANTE'S INFERNO
28 September - 3 November 2024
Dante’s Inferno is an immersive and multi-sensory group exhibition inspired by Dante Alighieri’s 14th-century epic poem Inferno, the first part of The Divine Comedy.
This exhibition invites viewers to embark on a visceral journey through the nine circles of Hell, reimagined by contemporary artists in paintings, sculptures, and other media. Exploring the contemporary perception of damnation, the human experience of Hell, and the enduring fascination with the afterlife’s darker side, the exhibition brings together diverse artists, each of whom has been tasked with presenting one of the nine layers of Hell as they reinterpret and reinvent these timeless themes.
By revisiting the age-old connection between death, judgement, Hell and Paradise, the exhibition embodies the rich theological and artistic heritage that grapples with the fate of the human soul.
Featured artists: Albie Romero, Andrea Marie Brieling, Antony Micallef, Becky Tucker, Darcey Fleming, Erica Mao, Falk Gernegroß, Jake Wood Evans, Kenrick McFarlane, Maggie Ellis, Malene Hartmann Rasmussen, Marcelle Hanselaar, Oleksii Shcherbak, Rex Southwick, YaYa Yajie Liang.
