Artlyst: Mat Collishaw Challenges Faith Perspectives With Ushaw Installation

My latest preview piece for Artlyst highlights a new commission from internationally renowned British artist Mat Collishaw which will see the artist create a site-specific installation that explores the themes of martyrdom and treason, worship and heresy at Ushaw, the former seminary in County Durham, from 5 July until 3 November:

'This work will continue Collishaw’s meditations on the alluring and the revolting, the familiar and the shocking, the poetic and the morbid. The installation will call attention to the beauty of Pugin’s work and the treasures held at Ushaw. Once again, the morality of his upbringing and the challenges of faith – both light and shadow – will seed his work.'
