Tonight, Wednesday April 17th, join Evan Michelson as she explores the world of the Gothic with her lecture "You Can't Kill Me, I'm Already Dead" at Hauser and Wirth! It's free and you can RSVP via the link in our bio. Look for the event section on our website Date: Wednesday, April 17th Time: 7pm Admission: Free ( Must RSVP through the ticket link provided) Locations: Hauser and Wirth, 548 W 22nd St, New York, NY 10011 The term Gothic can refer to an aesthetic, a sensibility, an architectural movement, a type of novel, a type of music, a fashion statement and a lifestyle. To be gothic is to be alternately heavy and ethereal, colorful and drab, immoral and virtuous. Gothic is hilarious and melancholy, conservative and transgressive. Gothic is a lifelong obsession, a passing phase, an epithet and a misnomer. Gothic is camp, theatrical and often ridiculous. It can be foolish, shallow and annoying. It can be sensuous, uncanny and sublime. There are as many ways to define the gothic as there are people who have fallen under its spell; from Walpole’s country villa to the band Bauhaus and beyond, the gothic has been revived and reinterpreted in every era, and it continues to comfort, confound and fascinate to this very day. But there is a kind of continuity to the gothic - a thread that runs though the centuries, through all the revivals and reversals; there is the seed of an idea, and a way of being in the world. That central idea looks backwards while it moves forwards. It is immortal: you cannot kill what is already dead.
