"Against Nature" is a group show that examines the works of an unconnected handful of contemporary artists in relation to the legacy of the Decadents. It casts its gaze over works that draw their inspiration from or evoke literary sources –or sensibilities- such as Huysmans, Comte de Lautreamont or Baudelaire.

With:
Emma Van Drongelen, Boris van Berkum, Geraldine Gliubislavich, Levi van Veluw, Hanne Barr, Ludovica Gioscia & Karen Tang, James Richards

The exhibition poses no unifying hypothesis nor postulates any reason for this fascination, intentional or otherwise. It offers no explanation for the references to the visual languages of the Decadents amongst contemporary artists. It merely traces the forms and maps out the residues.

The opening of the exhibition will be on Thursday 27 March at 18.00 - 21.00
