Malevolent Strains

Curated by Stuart Bailey, this exhibition is inspired by the strident approach of extreme music genres such as Black Metal, Grindcore, Death Metal, Doom and Thrash. The exhibiting artists reflect on the music, performance tropes and visual language of these subcultures from the perspective of fans. Artworks tackle the breadth and complexity of expression in extreme music as well as its social and political resonance through images, objects and live performance.
