In The Horror Show!, artists and film-makers Iain Forsyth and Jane Polland curate a terrifying tour through the times of their lives, from cold war angst to Gen Z activism
The Horror Show!, Somerset House’s new exhibition telling the story of the past 50 years through a ghoulish and disturbing art genre, was originally conceived in 2019. Unfortunately, as its curators note, a real-life horror show then got in the way.
Back after Covid, and conveniently timed for Halloween, it opens this week, and invites one obvious question: with so much actual horror going on all around us, why would anyone want to go to a London gallery to see more?
