Exclusive Tour of "Death and the Devil"

Unleash Your Inner Thrill-Seeker at the Hessisches Landesmuseum Darmstadt's Spine-Chilling Horror Exhibition

with a private tour by DA Germany Düsseldorf-Ruhr chapter member Westrey Page who curated the exhibition. The exhibition "Death and the Devil: The Fascination with Horror" explores, for the first time, the diverse and ambiguous history of artistic engagement with horror, as well as the current relevance of horror in fashion, music, film, and contemporary art. The focus of the exhibition is on works from the last twenty years by artists such as Alexander McQueen, the Chapman Brothers, Billie Eilish, Lars von Trier, Berlinde de Bruyckere, Mary Sibande, and many others. Death Metal and the blood-filled sneakers by MSCHF meet contributions from Andres Serrano and Eliza Douglas. With their works, they evoke ambivalent emotions of fear, and discomfort, but also enthusiasm. However, in art and culture, there is often a pleasurable interest, sometimes even a humorous approach, in contrast to the discomfort associated with horror. 

This spine-tingling experience isn't just about thrills – it's also about supporting our voter outreach efforts with a fun(d)raiser.

Let’s turn fear into action! Getting out the vote can be the ultimate weapon against real-world monsters.

Step into the shadows and prepare for a heart-pounding experience that promises to be a hauntingly good time!
