From Andrew Mer, longtime Glass Eye supporter and Executive Producer on DEPRAVED

Steven Kasher Gallery is delighted to present an exhibition of photographs titled Agog by Andrew Mer aka BigFusss mounted at Mitchell Algus Gallery, 132 Delancey St., NYC, from January 16th and now EXTENDED THROUGH FEBRUARY 15th.
 
Active in the artworld since moving to NY over 30 years ago, Fusss is exhibiting his photography for the first time. The 30 images chosen for this exhibition, shot 2020 to present, map New York City by day and by night. The city seduces Fusss. He stands agog, full of intense desire, ardent, camera at the ready.

Critic Amanda Church from Two Coats of Paint writes:
“Through an essentially a mechanical means, Mer conjures a deeply personal alternate universe, more illuminated and alluring than real life, extending the range of contemporary abstract photography.”

Critic Judd Tully writes:
“So this debut, emerging chrysalis-like from the pixel-light corridors of Instagram to printed editioned photographs on a gallery wall, feels a tangy bit revolutionary.”

By Philip Etemesi

Vampires have been sinking their fangs into human necks since the Silent Era. The popularity of the mythical creatures can be credited to Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel Dracula, which has been adapted more than 170 times. The 1872 novel, Carmilla, by Sheridan Le Fanu, also contributed heavily by being adapted more than 100 times.

Though vampires are primarily known for their craving for blood, early cinematic vampires, as seen in the 1913 movie The Vampire, were femme fatale “vamps” rather than undead fiends. Today, vampires can be clearly defined.

Ordinarily, vampire movies are associated with horror, but from time to time, the creatures tend to appear in drama, action, science fiction, comedy, romance, and fantasy stories. In the 2020s, movie directors are still fascinated with vampires, as we have recently seen gems like Nosferatu and Abigail. However, let’s take a trip back to the 1990s when equally great vampire movies were released, stretching across several genres.

#10 HABIT

Handling grief and heartbreak at the same time isn’t easy. So New Yorker Sam (Larry Fessenden) — who has just lost his father and broken up with his girlfriend — is glad when he meets Anna (Meredith Snaider), a seductive woman who seems willing to love him and nurse him back to a proper mental state. However, dozens of minutes into Habit, he suspects she might be a vampire.

Bad Company

Has a budget movie ever looked so good? The film was nominated for Best Cinematography and Best Director at the Independent Spirit Awards. Larry Fessenden did a one-man show here, directing, writing, and starring in Habit, without messing up a single thing. A masterclass in multitasking!

Meredith Snaider is also brilliant. Even though she seems human and empathetic at times, she’s still a scary siren, especially when threatened.

I believe it takes a well-developed sense of humor to be a horror fan. After all, none of us would be able to sleep if we actually thought that Freddy Krueger could show up in our dreams at night – and yet we always play along when the time comes to enjoy spooky stories about supernatural killers and mutated monsters… today we’d like to shine a light on six criminally underseen horror-comedies that deserve a second chance at success!

1. I Sell the Dead (2008)

The (mostly) obsolete profession of graverobbing is criminally underexplored in the world of horror. Glenn McQuaid’s charming I Sell the Dead remains one of few exceptions, starring Dominic Monaghan and Larry Fessenden as a mismatched duo of corpse salesmen who accidentally discover a more bizarre -not to mention lucrative- side to their line of work.

Stylish, hilarious and more than a little disgusting, McQuaid’s debut feature may not have seen much box office action outside of the festival circuit – and it released way too soon to become a streaming hit – but there’s a reason why this movie has steadily been finding more fans online as more folks connect with its unique brand of gallows humor.
