James Bourbon: The Dark Hour

Overview

You don't call an exhibition The Dark Hour without delving into moody and gloomy topics. Like death, for example — and the way everything from the grim reaper to serial killers have been considered, depicted and dissected throughout history and across popular culture.

Sure, it's a subject most of us don't like to think about, but it's actually one that pops up in films, novels, on the news and on social media much, much more than you probably realise. It's also perfect fodder for a showcase of works, found items and projections that proves both dark by name and dark by nature.

Expect rusty saw blades, faded gothic novels and other items and images that will trouble your subconscious as local artist James Bourbon takes audiences on a macabre journey. Be warned: with symbols, the occult, black metal, xeroxed posters, horror movies and all forms of dark matter providing inspiration, this one-night-only experience isn't for the faint-hearted.
