"Damaged Romanticism" features 15 internationally recognised
contemporary artists whose work, in painting, sculpture,
installations, and photography based media, belongs neither to a
style nor a traditional 'school', but is thematically linked by a
visual representation of how stubborn optimism, rather than
utopianism, triumphs in the face of daily adversity. In her opening
essay "Damaged Romanticism: A Mirror of Modern Emotion", Terrie
Sultan offers an overview of the concept behind the exhibition and
explains how the chosen works give form to contradictory sentiments
of disillusionment, and defiance.David Pagel, in Romanticism's
Aftermath, considers the role of Romanticism and Neoclassicism in
the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and how 'damaged
romanticism' is a reinterpretation of this. The links between art
and film are further explored by Colin Gardner in the third essay,
From here to eternity. Preceding the main catalogue is a short
story by Nick Flynn, a crystal formed entirely of holes, a new work
of fiction written especially for this exhibition.
