From SP/N Gallery:
“What is it about things that go bump in the night that we find so fascinating? Why do people flock to haunted houses and horror movies? From ancient tales of ghosts and demons to Hollywood franchises and creepypasta creations, horror provides an endless wellspring of ways to explore our own mortality and interpret events – both humanmade and unexplainable – that exist outside the norm of rational thought and behavior. In this increasingly unhinged world, horror is often the only way to think through apocalyptic anxieties around a host of issues, such as politics, the environment, generational trauma, body dysmorphia, aging, and, most importantly, death. This fall, the SP/N Gallery presents “The Horror,” an exhibition featuring artists who use the horror genre to disturbing, mystical, romantic and comic effects.”
