Curated by Eve Biddle.

The emblems of American society reflect a new animism that we worship both knowingly and unawares: Money, Multi-Culturalism, TV, Security, Machismo, Violence, Technology, Progress – among so many other gods. American demons give us strength but whether we let them control us, attempt to exorcise them, or simply don't realize their power, our relationship with them is manic and reflects our collective struggle with American identity. "American Demonic" presents nine artists whose works illustrate and harness these spirits. By illuminating what hides in the shadows of American consciousness, perhaps we can position ourselves for a confrontation with our demons.
