DESCRIPTION:MoMI presents an exhibition of material related to Jane Schoen
 brun’s film Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma. In this meta explorati
 on of the slasher film genre\, a queer filmmaker (Hannah Einbinder) is tas
 ked with resurrecting a 1980s/’90s-era horror franchise about supernatur
 al murders at a sleepaway camp\, and seeks out the film’s original\, rec
 lusive “final girl” (Gillian Anderson) for inspiration. \nThe Museum
 ’s installation will pair screen-used props from the fictional Camp Mias
 ma franchise—VHS tapes\, posters\, merchandise\, and a costume—with a 
 series of movie posters selected by Schoenbrun\, which include Psycho (196
 0)\, Sleepaway Camp (1983)\, and Dressed to Kill (1980). The posters\, wit
 h descriptive text by Schoenbrun\, illuminate the sources the filmmaker dr
 ew upon\, each of which contribute to the genre’s complex representation
  of gender\, desire\, and sexual deviance. \nThe exhibition opened July 30
 \, ahead of the film’s theatrical release on August 7. It will be on vie
 w in the Museum’s ground-floor Founders Hall and will feature approximat
 ely 35 objects\; admission is free. \nPresenting Sponsor

 r work experience placed him on the path to his current role as co-creator
  of CRANIACS\, his most ambitious endeavor yet.  \nIra first developed an
  appreciation for fandom and collecting decades ago as assistant publisher
  of Starlog\, the science-fiction media magazine\, and Fangoria\, the long
 -standing horror publication. This experience set the stage for an opportu
 nity to work for George Lucas\, where he served as an active member of the
  Star Wars consumer products team. Ira later set off on his own\, forming 
 a company that published official movie magazines and developed fan clubs 
 for film properties including Blade Runner\, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial\, 
 and other fan-focused films. He subsequently joined Topps\, the trading ca
 rd company\, where he spent more than 30 years as VP of Publishing\, Licen
 sing and New Product Development. At Topps\, Ira managed pop culture brand
 s including Star Wars\, Batman among many other entertainment properties. 
 He also oversaw the company’s portfolio of original IP\, including Garba
 ge Pail Kids. It was during his tenure as architect of the “GPK” licen
 sing program that Ira began collaborating with artist Joe Simko. Years lat
 er\, Joe and Ira decided to strike out on their own to form a dedicated cr
 eative partnership. CRANIACS is the initial result of their shared desire 
 to build an original IP from the ground up.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/
