Vampiric Kisses with Diego Ramirez
Episode 5
Saturday, 17 October, 2020
Diego Ramirez makes art in different mediums, writes about culture, and labours in the arts. His video work was subject to a joint solo screening by ACCA x ACMI titled Diego Ramirez: Towards the Umbral, curated by Annabelle Lacroix in 2018. The next year, he presented The Horrible Affair between a Sadistic Image and a Masochistic Text at West Space as part of WRITING&CONCEPTS, a lecture on the relationship between his art and writing. He performed in Lifenessless at West Space x Gertrude Contemporary in 2019, as part of Ventriloquy curated by Joel Stern. His work has been represented in art fairs, such as Art Central Hong Kong and Sydney Contemporary. He held a solo show in Mexico titled IMPERIā: el borde de las tinieblas at Deslave, Tijiuana in 2018. In today's episode, Molly chats to artist and pal Diego Ramirez about vampires, gothic anxieties, 70's satanic cults and the theology of kissing *ooo*! Diego will be discussing with us how this has not only influenced western consciousness, capitalism and religion, but has shaped the creation of his resin black bitten apple. Throughout this podcast, we will be critiquing and analysing the use of CGI in B grade horror films, such as in Ghostbusters (1984), Rosemary's Baby (1968), Brainiac (1958) and Transformers (1980), as well as discuss how miracles operate as index's, special effects and manifestations of the divine in these films. We will be drawing upon Lindsay Ellis's film critiques as well as lightly touch upon Sianne Ngai's Ugly Feelings to compliment this. We hope you love this podcast as much as we do!!! Enjoy possums <3
