ICONOCLASM: CENSORSHIP, DESTRUCTION AND REUSE IN THE EUROPEAN MIDDLE AGES

SAM FOGG, LONDON

Iconoclasm, which literally means “image breaking”, describes the destructive tendencies of communities who move to reject the significance we project onto images. Our new exhibition explores how we can read damage on historic objects, long after the violence of their destruction has passed, and will trace some of the many ways in which Europeans across history have sought to silence images during the centuries since their creation.

December 2nd is the final day of exhibition.
