<\/span>Film maker, friend, and many-time Observatory lecturer<\/a> Ronni Thomas finds Observatory<\/a>--the event and gallery space I founded with some friends in Brooklyn New York a few years back--inspiring. So inspiring, in fact, that he has created a new web-based video series entitled \"The Midnight Archive: Tales from the Observatory\" which will use as a launching off point the events, classes, field trips and personalities to be found in this space.<\/p>

This Friday night we will be hosting a launch party for The Midnight Archive at The Coney Island Museum as part of my ongoing exhibition The Great Coney Island Spectacularium<\/a>; more on that party can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>

In the meantime, above is a teaser for the show, which features five Observatory presenters--including our self-taught anthropomorphic taxidermy and mummification instructors--and is graced by the music of Stephen Coates of The Real Tuesday Weld<\/a>. And following is what auteur Ronni Thomas has to say about this new series and its inspiration:
<\/p>

About an ODD year ago, or so, i had the honor to lecture at the ever impressive Brooklyn Observatory<\/a> in, well... Brooklyn, NY. I was amazed at the turnout - I could not believe so many people were interested in such strange topics. Talking to Joanna Ebenstein of Morbid Anatomy<\/a> and the Observatory<\/a> itself, it seemed apparent that there was a demand for a series on the exotic and the esoteric.<\/p>

Hence - The Midnight Archive... Its not only a web series but a collection - so to speak - of some of the unique people, collections, careers and artifacts from the Observatory as well as around the world. Consider it a sampler, an Observatory Sampler - like those Whitman's Chocolate Samplers (only don't crush each of these to figure out whats inside). The Series launches Friday August 12th at Coney Island USA - for details please email ronni [at] themidnightarchive.com<\/a><\/p>

Title Theme by the ever amazing Stephen Coates (The Real Tuesday Weld, Lazarus and the Plane Crash) http:\/\/www.tuesdayweld.com<\/a>.<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>
