Horror Decor New Public Collectors publication! Available for $9.00 here. Public Collectors publication #82 is a photo booklet surveying five years of Halloween decoration documentation in Chicago's Avondale neighborhood area. From the back cover:
Every year I watch as my neighbors in Chicago’s Avondale neighborhood add gruesome details to their homes for Halloween. Some people are ambitious and assemble constructions that look like they took months to acquire or create, but it’s the smaller and cheaper decorations that I’m particularly drawn to: a severed finger here, a scattering of bones there, with maybe some Caution! tape, or a rubber rat chewing on a foot tossed in for good measure. Simple, strange gestures like these can heighten our attention to other overlooked additions to our built and natural environment, revealing not just someone’s Halloween play, but other details that we mighthave ignored. What else are you seeing and what are you missing?
I shot these photos over the last five years. I have lived in Avondale since 2012, but it has taken me time to feel firmly situated and committed to making creative work about my neighborhood. I like having the time to observe slowly. Being mindful of privacy, I tend to zoom in rather than photograph someone’s entire house. It was hard to choose what to include, as I have enough material for four booklets, but ultimately this is what made the cut.
I invited David Canario to write this booklet’s introduction. David also lives in Avondale. We met a little over two years ago when we found ourselves working to address the same concerns about affordable housing and aggressive development in our ward. David spends a lot of time canvassing for progressive candidates and concerns, and he’s an avid cyclist so he sees a lot when he travels through Avondale. He’s also a horror buff, making him a perfect collaborator for a project like this.

Such violent acts can inspire a surprising range of emotions. Feelings like grief, disgust and shame are to be expected, but these negative reactions are often mirrored by a sense of intimacy and wonder. Holding a severed head in your hands, even cutting off another person’s head, can be a thrill. Owning somebody else’s head can be a fascinating and deeply moving experience. It can be an expression of respect or an act of abuse, or both at once. People invariably treat severed heads as prized possessions, since they are hardly commonplace objects. Whether as a religious relic, a pseudo-scientific icon, an artist’s muse or a soldier’s memento mori, countless human heads have been transformed into vessels for reverence.

Shakespeare Weekend!
This weekend we explore Shakespeare’s romantic drama, Pericles, Prince of Tyre, the twenty-eighth volume of the thirty-seven volume The Comedies Histories & Tragedies of William Shakespeare, published by the Limited Editions Club (LEC) from 1939-1940. It is widely acknowledged that Shakespeare was likely not the sole author of Pericles, Prince of Tyre and while it was published in quarto in 1609 by stationer Henry Gosson with Shakespeare’s name on the title page, it was not included in his works until the Third Folio of 1663. Most scholars believe that Pericles, Prince of Tyre was written in 1607 or early 1608 and co-authored by pamphleteer George Wilkins.  
This edition of Pericles, Prince of Tyre was illustrated with wood-engravings by Polish artist Stanislas Ostoja-Chrostowski (1900-1947). Chrostowski studied at the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts, received a bronze medal in the 1936 Summer Olympics Art Competition for commercial graphic art painting, and was active in the intelligence department of the World War II Polish resistance movement Home Army. He was regarded as the leading wood-engraver of his nation and was known for illustrating several Polish classics and numerous children’s books. The LEC writes of Chrostowski’s work that “whole textures are created by his tools, and the resulting prints seem to have more color than just the color of black ink.” Indeed, his precise and vivid engravings storm off the page to match the dramatic tenor of the play.  
The volume was printed in an edition of 1950 copies at the Press of A. Colish. Each of the LEC volumes of Shakespeare’s works are illustrated by a different artist, but the unifying factor is that all volumes were designed by famed book and type designer Bruce Rogers and edited by the British theatre professional and Shakespeare specialist Herbert Farjeon. Our copy is number 1113, the number for long-standing LEC member Austin Fredric Lutter of Waukesha, Wisconsin.

Even when a head is severed entirely legally it is an act that has the power to horrify, and part of the horror is that a severed head is so captivating. The dead human face is a siren: dangerous but irresistible.
