Paranormal. Tony Oursler Vs Gustavo Rol⁣ Available at www.draw-down.com⁣ ⁣ For years, American artist Tony Oursler (the father of video-sculpture) has been collecting objects, publications, ephemera about the paranormal, using them as inspiration for many of his works. Photographs of ghosts, pseudo-scientific texts, and primitive technologies for creating visual illusions have found a home in his collection of over 15,000 items. The collection includes materials related to Oursler's grandfather Charles Fulton Oursler and his friendship with Harry Houdini.⁣ ⁣ #Paranormal #HarryHoudini #ephemera⁣ https://www.instagram.com/p/B4-Kx6JHhYR/?igshid=10d7xbnl6x715

My first “superhero” was Harry Houdini. In elementary school, I read every book the library had on him and it changed my perspective forever. He was born on this day in 1874. Happy Birthday, Erik Weisz. #harryhoudini https://www.instagram.com/p/BvaxEGqFMU-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9gxgxl4is7wt

"My brain is the key that sets me free" ⛓🗝⛓ Thinking of Houdini, like I do every year on this day. This serie of pictures was actually taken in the McCord Museum of Montreal, the very place where Harry was fatally injured on Halloween Night many moons ago. I had no idea that this exhibition ("Illusions, the art of Magic") would grant me such a tremendous experience and allow me to stand next to such memorabilia. Even better than a dream came true, as I had no idea that such an exhibition was happening there when we planned to go see the native collections situated just a floor bellow. Harry Houdini means a lot to me, as you may or may not know. The name under the pyramids comes from a short story ghost-written by H.P Lovecraft for Harry Houdini … two favourite artists of mine. It was first published in the Summer 1924 issue of Weird Tales and is also known as Imprisoned with the Pharaos. Shortly before his death, Houdini made a pact with Bess that if he could, he would return and make contact with her from the other side. They devised a coded message that only he and Bess knew; this would prove that it really was Houdini breaking through from the afterlife. I wrote a longer article about this in the blog a couple years ago and if you are interested, just enter "Houdini" in the search bar of the blog (link in profile).
