The Fly (1986) with Matthew Ronay

There was a young man who became a fly
I don’t know why he became a fly – Perhaps he’ll die!

Who doesn't love a gruesome body horror movie staring an Adonis such as Jeff Goldbloom??? Heyd and Erin invited New York-based artist Matthew Ronay who was influenced by The Fly from 1986 at an early age. Matthew's biomorphic sculptures shift between abstraction and representation, much like Brundlefly's transformation with connections to disease, aging, pregnancy, and puberty. Won't you teleport with us through this story of decay and loss that exposes our most basic human fear of losing control of our own bodies? Be afraid. Be very afraid!

Tangents: AIDS crisis, 9/11, Joseph Cornell, anxious/avoidant attachment style, toxic masculinity, bathrooms, trypophobia, cybernetics, EO, American Ivy style, Grand-Guignol
