Hurricane Projects II: Fantasy and the Macabre

Hurricane Projects is an annual event at The Moore Space loosely gathering artists` works under an informal concept. This year`s subtitle is borrowed from "Dark of the Moon: Poems of Fantasy and the Macabre", a 1947 anthology of weird poetry from the Middle Ages to the present day. A selection of works refer to the psychological edge where fantasy and macabre meet and play out, either through the use of pathetic fallacy; or by making references to historical events; or, in some cases works allude to transformation by deformation and mutation. Artists include among others: Nicole Eisenman, David Altmejd, Darren Almond, Justin Leiberman, Pepe Mar, Jim Drain, Naomi Fisher, Jon Pylypchuk, Paul McCarthy and Gregor Schneider.
