Ars Necronomica 2017
Our biennial exhibition is both an independent entity and part of a tradition begun in 2013 with the revitalization of NecronomiCon Providence. Each installment is a chapter in a larger story — our curatorial perception of not just a Lovecraftian aesthetic, but how we see weird art itself.
In this iconographiam, we present a focused range of these perceptions, intending to present a glimpse beyond expected aesthetic horizons, including Amy Borezo’s Wilmarth Farm blasted to minimalism while boasting a visual lineage akin to Max Ernst; Peter Ferguson’s traditionally delineated environment harboring the anomalous, Sara Bardi’s playful Bok-like felinity, and Kurt Komoda’s logical encounter amidst the Dreamlands.
We invite you to witness this conversation made up of different visual languages. Spoken by many hands that grant license to invent, reinvent, and synthesize the questions of what we want, need, and have yet to dream of The Visible Weird.
