kennethgerleve.com is LIVE! It's ALIVE!
Ok. So I still have to add more images and give them all proper descriptions and etc., but the site is now available to the world.
Now I get to go back to packing and moving house and studio to Pilsen!

Monstrous Media/Spectral Subjects
From 21-24 July, I will be attending the International Gothic Association's 9th Biannual Conference, a.k.a. 'Monstrous Media/Spectral Subjects' in Lancaster, England. The following is from their website:
"Gothic forms and figures have long been bound up with different media, from the machinery of Walpole’s modern romance to Robertson’s phantasmagorical shows in the eighteenth century; from uncanny automata to ghostly photographs and monstrous kinetograms in the nineteenth; from cinematic shocks to digital disembodiments in the twentieth. More than merely exploiting new technical developments in cultural production and consumption, the Gothic mode, in adopting and adapting new media, engages with excitements and anxieties attendant on social and technological change."
"Examining conjunctions of literary, visual, spatial and digital texts in relation to spectral and visceral effects and affects, the conference aims to stimulate discussions of the relationship between the Gothic novel and other cultural forms, media and technologies. Doubling the monstrous with the spectral, it sets out to explore the cultural production and consumption of monsters and ghosts from the eighteenth century to the present."
"This interdisciplinary, international conference will be hosted by the Department of English and Creative Writing and supported across the University by colleagues in English, Film, Media and Cultural Studies, Gender Studies and the Contemporary Arts. It is hoped that international scholars from diverse fields will participate."

New Website
After a year of using the Portfolio Web/Web Agent templates from Columbia College, I've decided to migrate over to Other People's Pixels because the interface is more user-friendly and the designs are much nicer.
I plan to have more up on the site in the next few weeks, but in between teaching and moving to Pilsen, time has been a bit scarce.
