blood/MarcyAV, a girl’s heart of darkness was a collaborative exhibition curated by Michele Marcoux which took place at the Ambulance Depot, Edinburgh in 2013.
The exhibition showed work from Nostalgia/Analgesic a collaboration between artist Michele Marcoux, poet Sheila Black and sound artist Lynne Thermann. The project looked at their experience as young women in 1980′s Williamsburg, Brooklyn during a period when drugs were rife and crime rates soared (in 1988 more than 2000 people were murdered in New York City). A girl’s heart of darkness explores the nostalgia but also the pain of youth, and the implicit as well as explicit violence of life in the city, especially for women.
