About the blog…
The Girl Who Knew Too Much (named after Mario Bava’s influential 1963 giallo film classic) is a curatorial research project that explores the infectious and dialogical relationship between horror cinema and contemporary art. Through a series of thematic essays on art and film, interviews, reviews, and collating relevant international cultural happenings, this blog maps out contemporary artists’ incorporation of horror film’s structural, conceptual, and aesthetic approaches into their practice.
A little bit about me…
Caryn Coleman is a New York-based independent curator and writer whose curatorial practice explores the intersection of film and visual art with an obsessive focus on horror cinema’s influence on contemporary artists. This is the basis for her online writing project The Girl Who Knew Too Much and the journal Incognitum Hactenus as well as film screenings at Nitehawk Cinema and upcoming exhibition programming such as Contagious Allegories: horror cinema and contemporary art (2013). She is currently the Curator for the Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts ‘Art & Law’ Residency program and previously owned the gallery sixspace in Los Angeles (2002-2008) and Chicago (1998-2000). She has written for Network Awesome, LUX, Rue Morgue, The Modernist, Art Review online, Beautiful Decay, L.A. Weekly, and art.blogging.la.
Coleman received her MFA in Curating with distinction from Goldsmiths College in London.
