The exhibition arose from a conversation Dan and Laurie have been having for years about their shared affinity for a certain kind of art to which they're drawn to, can’t quite name, but recognize when they see it. Artworks and artists that share an affinity with what they thought of as a “witchy” sensibility, using the iconography of the supernatural, occult, and witchcraft to channel ideas about power, the body, and gender.
“In a time of constant historical and thematic artistic rediscoveries, we present a breadcrumb trail that already exists—a shared language across generations of artists who share in a knowledge of, and taste for, a bit of cauldron and a touch of darkness.” -Dan Nadel and Laurie Simmons
