Monsters

Overview

One of the oldest, and most intricate questions man has ever posed to his peers is if Frankenstein, Dracula, and King-Kong worked together, could they save Tokyo from Godzilla? The Gallery of Modern Art's latest exhibit, Monsters, probably won’t touch on this topic, but will definitely be providing a rare insight into these legendary cinematic creatures.

Monsters, is an exploration of monsters in cinema, covering all six groups of these much feared villains - bloodthirsty fiends; zombies, mutants and shapeshifters; misunderstood monsters; mad doctors; foreign entities; and monstrous absurdities. This unique exhibit offers an opportunity to rediscover some of the most popular films featuring these creatures on the big screen, including recent digital restorations and archival film prints from around the world.

Monsters is your chance to not just see vampires, zombies, and mutants, but to ask why vampires? Why zombies? Why mutants? Titles like Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, and Dracula are considered the a part of the stable diet of nearly all cinema goers and this GOMA exhibit is a chance to indulge in these great meals gluttonously, but also introspectively.
