Special Topics: THE ART IN & OF THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE

An unusual formalist analysis of the classic, focusing on its self-referential and abstract elements, as well as the cool art all through it (bone furniture, performance art, etc.).  Comparisons made with Hooper's other films, and stuff from the art world, including work by Marina Abramovic, Chris Burden, Damien Hirst, Alexander McQueen, Leigh Bowery, Gordon Matta-Clark and Bruce Nauman.  Email us at tellusyourfears@gmail.com
