Primary Projects presents the solo exhibition "The Castle Dismal" by Christina Pettersson exploring her undying fascination with Southern Gothic, the poignancy of ghosts ever wronged.


In a seemingly haunted and eerie space, Pettersson addresses the Deep South through drawing, installation, sculpture, performance, and a series of weekly events.


Says Pettersson, “All this is a way of re-addressing the Deep South, a place I genuinely love and feel connected to. I am approaching this imagery hard, face first into utter desolation. A constant state of mourning. A life where everything else falls around you, until at last you are forced to admit that you may be the cause of it all."

 

“The Castle Dismal” is on view at Primary Projects until June 20, 2014
