The exhibition SCREAM: 10 artists x 10 writers x 10 scary movies addresses a diversity of horrors influencing today¹s contemporary artists ­ from Slasher films and Halloween traditions to the howl of Black Metal.

A catalog proposal, which mockingly adheres to the 10 x 10 x 10 framework of CREAM curatorial projects by Phaidon, accompanies the exhibition. Additionally, instead of taking stabs at an artist¹s practice by assigning Œsource artist¹ relationships, we¹ve invited the artists to select scary movies as a way to contextualize their individual ties to horror. A mute discussion carries out on screen after gallery hours.

³Scream: 10 artists x 10 writers x 10 scary movies² is on view January 15 ­ February 14 at Anton Kern Gallery, located at 532 W. 20th Street. For further information please contact Michael Clifton or Fernanda Arruda at 212-367-9663, or by email at info@antonkerngallery.com
