The psychological horror film Goodnight Mommy is a twisted and fantastical take on the home invasion thriller. In the heat of the summer lays an isolated house in the Austrian countryside, where nine-year-old twin brothers await their mother’s return after cosmetic surgery. She’s recovering from an accident that has left her face covered in bandages, unrecognizable to her precocious sons. During her recovery her temper runs short with the boys, her behavior is domineering and her punishments turn harsh. The boys begin to suspect she isn’t really their mother...

The Gilded Age
Opening: Saturday, September 12, 2015 6:00pm - 9:00pm
Thinkspace Gallery
6009 W Washington Blvd, Culver City, CA 90232

The Gilded Age presents three exceptional artists – two of whom are hand-picked by the inimitable Horkey – whose respective work, though entirely unique and contemporary, recalls many of the sensibilities shared by the late 19th and early 20th century return to craftsmanship, narrative and ornamentation. Particularly relevant given our entrenchment in an age of digital reign and impermanent culture, The Gilded Age betrays a nostalgic yearning for the maximalism of the human hand.


Opening: Saturday, September 12, 4pm-7pm
Red Desert 850 S Broadway 6th floor #600 Los Angeles, CA 90014
