Line 1: {{Short description\|Contemporary art movement}} '''New Gothic Art''' is a [[contemporary art]] movement that emphasizes darkness and horror. As Francesca Gavin puts it, {{cquote\|There are monsters, the grotesque, violated or mutant bodies, the divided self, ghosts, dolls, masks, skulls, disgust and the abject. These are images filled with the colour black, decay and instability. Fear is reflected on the environment, or on to the self, or on to others. Sometimes the work is nihilistic or anarchic.<ref>Gavin 2008, p. 007.</ref>}} {{distinguish\|text=[[Neo-Gothic]] architectural style}} '''New Gothic''' or '''Neo-Gothic''' is a [[contemporary art]] movement that emphasizes darkness and horror. ==Boston Gothic exhibition==▼ The style began with the "Gothic" exhibition organized by the [[Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston]], curated by Christoph Grunenberg, which took place April 24 - July 6, 1997.<ref name=grunenberg>Grunenberg 1997.</ref> This exhibit included work by [[Jake and Dinos Chapman]], [[Richard Stark]], [[Mike Kelly]], [[Julie Becker]], [[Monica Carocci]], [[Gregory Crewdson]], [[Keith Edmier]], [[James Elaine]], [[Robert Gober]], [[Jim Hodges]], [[Sheila Pepe]], [[Douglas Gordon]], [[Wolfgang Amadeus Hansbauer]], [[Aura Rosenberg]], [[Cameron Jamie]], [[Abigail Lane]], [[Zoe Leonard]], [[Tony Oursler]], [[Alexis Rockman]], [[Pieter Schoolwerth]], [[Cindy Sherman]], [[Jeanne Silverthorne]], and [[Gary Simmons]].<ref name=grunenberg/>▼ ==Manifesto== ==Francesca Gavin's reformulation==▼ "The {{sic\|hide=y\|Neo Gothic}} Art Manifesto" was written by [[Gothic subculture]] artist [[Charles Moffat]] in 2001,<ref>[http://www.arthistoryarchive.com/arthistory/gothic/The-Neo-Gothic-Art-Manifesto.html "The Neo Gothic Art Manifesto"]</ref> who also coined the term in an effort to differentiate it from [[Gothic architecture]]. The manifesto was later updated in 2003, but both versions emphasize rebellion against normality. Gavin's 2008 book ''Hell Bound'' continued to theorize the existence of the movement. She has also referred to the style as "the art of fear." The term is associated with contemporary work by [[Banks Violette]], David Noonan and [[Gabríela Friðriksdóttir]], in particular, as well as [[Christian Jankowski]], [[Marnie Weber]], Kevin Francis Gray, Amie Dicke, Matt Greene, Wes Lang, Cloe Peine, [[Boo Saville]], [[Terence Koh]], and [[Matthew Stone]].<ref>Francesca Gavin, "The Art of Fear", ''Dazed & Confused'', volume 2, issue 66, October 2008, p. 155.</ref> Gavin also includes [[James Aldridge]], [[Olaf Breuning]], [[Luke Caulfield]], [[Nuno Cera]], [[Dr Lakra]], [[Sue de Beer]], [[Stephen Dunne]], [[French (artist)\|French]], [[James Hopkins]], [[Des Hughes]], [[Ken Kagami]], [[Izima Kaoru]], [[Joss McKinley]], [[Jonathan Meese]], [[Elina Merenmies]], [[Tim Noble]], [[Sue Webster]], [[David Noonan]], [[Pure Evil]], [[Putrid (artist)\|Putrid]], [[Bill Saylor]], [[Noe Sendas]], [[Ricky Swallow]], [[Erik Tidemann]], [[Iris Van Dongen]], and [[Sarah Woodfine]].
