The Artist in a Haunted House. Jeremy Blake and The Winchester Mystery House

Summary/Abstract: This year marks the tenth anniversary of the death of New York artists Jeremy Blake and Theresa Duncan, who committed suicide within one week of each other in July 2007. She had a well-received animated film in her output. He was a rising star of video art, and his most important work was the “Winchester” trilogy, inspired by the mysterious Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, California, and the life of its creator Sarah Winchester, the heiress of fortune coming from the production of rifles well known from western films. According to legend, Ms. Winchester built this house in order to appease the spirits of Native Americans killed by Winchester rifles during the conquest of the Wild West. Despite success, Blake and his partner became paranoid, and their art did not offer them a refuge from evil powers.
