Take an in-depth look at Ruin Lust with the exhibition’s curator, Brian Dillon, who explores the mournful, thrilling, comic and perverse uses of ruins in art from the 17th century to the present day.

Brian Dillon is a writer and critic, and UK editor of Cabinet magazine. He contributes regularly to art magazines, newspapers and journals in the UK, USA and Ireland, as well as writing books that range in subject matter from contemporary art to the history of hypochondria, the physical space of writing to the aesthetics of decay.

Meet at the Manton entrance.
