A few months ago some reporter started poking around the gallery asking question about zombies and popular culture and Caryn dropped all kinds of science on the subject. The article finally came out and is worth giving a once over. Here’s the goods:
Horror movie fan Caryn Coleman, who owns a Los Angeles art gallery called Sixspace, recently hosted an exhibition by local artist Chad Robertson that focused on the concept of the zombie in popular culture.
“The public’s fascination with zombies has to do with the fact that zombies represent the regular person more than other typical horror monsters and … zombies reflect the monster within each of us,â€? she said.
“The zombie outbreak we see in films shows us how just one single cause can create a rippling and life-altering effect,” Coleman said. “Take, for instance, post-Katrina in New Orleans. That is a perfect example of a devastating event bringing out the intense need for survival and utter chaos.”
