Haunted Summer

In the tradition of summer-camp slasher films and summer vacations to cabins in the woods, Haunted Summer will feature seven female artists whose work explore fear, the paranormal, horror and occult ritual. Haunted Summer is also the title of a soft-focused, late 1980s film based upon an actual summer spent together by Lord Byron, Mary Shelley and Percy Shelley. Between drugs, sex and mind games the poets devise a contest for who can write the best horror story- the winning story being the creation of Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein. Each creating their own narratives surrounding fear and the unknown, Haunted Summer features artists Sarah Gamble, Roxanne Jackson, Amanda Lechner, Mollie McKinley, Andrea Mihalovic, Amanda Nedham, and Keri Oldham. Curated by Keri Oldham. Opening reception for the artists June 13 from 6-9pm.
