From Glasgow’s ‘Spook School’ to The Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, this talk considers how the work of women designers and architects in the early twentieth century has been circumscribed to the realms of horror.

About

We’re excited to announce a series of talks that have been programmed alongside Rachel Adams & Tessa Lynch’s collaborative exhibition Stoop, Stoop, Stooping is Stoopid!” on display in the Studio Pavilion at House for an Art Lover. This series delivered by a variety of academics, writers, artists and historians aims to expand upon some of the artists’ research interests as well as provide an insight into a variety of subjects touched upon by the exhibition.
