Night Terrors

A small fanzine of images and writing called Night Terrors accompanied the exhibition of the same name. This is a selection of pages from the ‘zine.

Curated by Izzie Klingels, design and layout by http://iwantyoustudio.com/

Night Terrors explored the relationship between creativity and terror through abnormal and unnatural behaviour in the night. Whether through sleep deprivation or a subconscious dream state, violent thoughts and dark urges grip us in the middle of the night and manifest themselves.

Nightmares, parasomnia, incubi, succubi, somnambulism, insomnia, hallucinations, malignant spirits, dystopian visions, dark places and nocturnal emissions.

Fanzine Contributors

Dina Seiden, Graham Bendel, Elissa Ball, Conny Prantera, Grady Gordon, Jeffrey Meyer, Christian J Petersen, Nick Bartoletti, Laura Cassidy, Izzie Klingels, Kara McMullen, Ryan Riss

theossuary: Since exhumations are all the rage right now, I thought I’d share my favorite: Elizabeth Siddal, artist and model to the Pre-Raphaelites.Siddal died of a laudanum overdose at the age of 32 in 1862 in London. Her husband, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, left a journal containing the only copies of many of his poems in her coffin, tucking it away in her famous red hair. Rossetti, drug- and alcohol-addled by the end of the 1860s, became obsessed with retrieving those poems so that he could publish them. Or, it seems, Rossetti’s agent, the slightly (or totally) shady Charles Augustus Howell, became obsessed with this. In any case, Howell exhumed her coffin in the middle of the night at Highgate Cemetery. Howell reported back to Rossetti that she was remarkably well preserved and still beautiful. Whether this was actually true or not, the manuscript didn’t make it out so well preserved. A worm had burrowed through the entire book, leaving behind a big old wormhole. More here and here.

anotherhand: In conjunction with my installation DAISY AGE at the ONN/OF Festival I will be hosting a DAISY AGE NAIL PARLOUR on Sunday afternoon. Let me create glow in the dark art on one (or more) of your nails. We are the light in the darkness, the links in the cosmic chain. Only by joining together can we create a new daisy age. In the darkness of winter we can sow the seeds for the next summer of love. Join hands with me for DAISY AGE NAIL PARLOUR!
