Melancholia – a Sebald variation
Curated by John-Paul Stonard and Lara Feigel, 'Melancholia: A Sebald Variation', takes the writings of W.G. Sebald (1944-2001) as a starting point for an exploration of melancholia in European art and culture.
Inspired in particular by Sebald’s 1997 publication 'On The Natural History of Destruction'– 20 years old this year – Melancholia sees works by international contemporary artists set alongside images documenting the destruction of Germany in the Second World War
