New Gothic or Neo-Gothic is a contemporary art movement that emphasizes darkness and horror.
Manifesto
"The Neo Gothic Art Manifesto" was written by
Gothic exhibition, Boston 1997
The style may be said to have begun (even if named later) with the "Gothic" exhibition organized by the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, curated by Christoph Grunenberg, which took place April 24 – July 6, 1997.[2] This exhibit included work by Jake and Dinos Chapman, Mike Kelley, Gregory Crewdson, Robert Gober, Jim Hodges, Douglas Gordon, Abigail Lane, Tony Oursler, Alexis Rockman, and Cindy Sherman.[2]
Francesca Gavin's reformulation
Gavin's 2008 book Hell Bound: New Gothic Art continued to theorize the existence of the movement. She has also referred to the style as "the art of fear".
