Recenzii
“Supernatural America paints a picture of the paranormal in all its historic significance . . . . In addition to presenting art historical analyses of works in the exhibition, the catalog gives the reader a bare bones history of the paranormal in American culture, ranging from the origins of the Ouija Board and Spiritualism to psychic photography and witchcraft.”
"The first major exhibition to examine the relationship between American artists and the supernatural in all its forms."
"Numerous artists have been inspired by ghosts and the paranormal over the centuries but rarely have these ghostly works been examined in a scholarly fashion. Robert Cozzolino, a curator at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, brings together more than 150 works in an ambitious touring show covering more than two centuries of art linked to the supernatural."
"The first major museum exhibition to take a comprehensive look at the relationship between American artists and the unseen forces that lurk in our cultural history."
"[Supernatural America's] thoroughly researched and illustrated essays by scholars and artists (including John Jota Leaños and Renée Stout) alternate with accounts by practitioners, including an astrologer and a witch; all of the contributions are treated seriously and respectfully. Cozzolino aims to offer new ways of seeing, and new entry points for comprehending how artists have given physical form to intangible visitations or experiences (spanning the realms of UFOs, séances, and spirits of Indigenous or enslaved peoples). . . . VERDICT Whether or not readers believe in the supernatural, they’ll be impressed by the erudition of these texts and the wide range of beautifully presented artworks."
"Extensive, well-researched catalogue that makes [its] case even to those of us unable or unwilling to travel in the time of Covid. . . well worth engaging with."
"What particularly makes the text interesting and enjoyable is the approach that Cozzolino took with curation. . . .I recommend this book for those who are interested in the most striking of these, the unspeakable. Supernatural America is a concise and well-curated collection of images that, at their core, are tied together by the way in which they document the unspeakable. What is unspeakable changes depending on the artists and their lived experience, but the haunted images within the text clearly demonstrate the way artists wrestle with how to render the invisible visible, the unspeakable spoken."
"This exhibition catalogue covers more than 200 years of visualisations of paranormal phenomena and otherworldly contact,
demonstrating a search for healing from the country’s violent past by embracing the uncanny."
demonstrating a search for healing from the country’s violent past by embracing the uncanny."
"Supernatural America features works based upon personal, firsthand experiences by artists for whom the supernatural is woven into their worldviews. The focus is respect, dignity, sincerity, and belief in an exploration and dialogue of cultural and historic identity, both deeply intimate and vast through the manifestations that exist alongside us, if we are willing to look in earnest. "
"Robert Cozzolino...breaks new ground in presenting the paranormal as a historical subject of wide-ranging importance..."
