Twisted

To people in and around SoCal, on this coming Saturday (the 17th) at long, long last, Sabrina Tarasoff's and Twisted Experiential's BEYOND BAROQUE HAUNTED HOUSE... opens to the public at Huntington Gardens as part of 'Made In LA'. This has my super strong recommendation. https://www.huntington.org/made-in-la-2020 'For this installation, Tarasoff has enlisted the expertise of Zion Fenwick and their team at Twisted, an immersive content studio focused on haunted walkthroughs and theatrical productions based in Highland Park, to build a haunted house in The Huntington’s galleries. Each room of the fantastical haunt guides the viewer through archival materials and ephemera as well as installations that place guests within fictionalized tableaux based on the works of Dennis Cooper, Bob Flanagan and Sheree Rose, Amy Gerstler, Jack Skelley, Ed Smith, and David Trinidad. The rooms capture the ethos of Beyond Baroque, and in so doing, restage the idea of an archive in a brilliantly unacademic, unconventional, and experiential form.'
