Horror Show, curated by The Ryan Sisters, is a group exhibition featuring 13 artists exploring ideas associated with the Horror genre. The abject nature of horror is one that consists of a number of conflicting emotions. We are often simultaneously repelled and drawn to this subject matter. It titillates, excites, mesmerizes and terrorizes. Artists will respond to this theme drawing from cinema, literature and popular culture ranging from the schlock to the Occult.
