#RockStarLife: Coffee Break

The Paranormal Realm with Nicole Buckingham Kern!!!

Nicole Buckingham Kern Season 2 Episode 2

In this thrilling second episode of Season Two of #RockStarLife: Coffee Break, I'm joined by the incredible Nicole Buckingham Kern, the Gallery Coordinator at The Galleries at CCBC and the person who is coordinating my newest art exhibition, The Paranormal Realm: Beyond the Lore. We dive deep into Nicole's fascinating artist practice with knitting the worlds longest umbilical cord, what it takes to coordinate dynamic art exhibitions, and her role in bringing my spooky, surreal, and campy vision to life for the opening of The Paranormal Realm: Beyond the Lore, which launches 10/14 and features the premiere of my latest art film, Ethereal Anarchy, on 11/1.

We also talk all things paranormal, including what it was like filming Ethereal Anarchy, and the experience of witnessing in person what happened on camera. But the chills don’t stop there—we talk about my dream paranormal investigation spot, Forest Haven Asylum in Laurel, MD, The Ghosts on the CCBC's Essex and Catonsville Campuses, and cap off the conversation with a ghostly tale about Jeremiah, the spirit from the State Theater of Havre de Grace, who decided to follow me to work one day, making his spooky presence known in the gallery to Nicole!

This episode is packed with insights into art, the paranormal, and running a gallery—whether you’re an artist, a curator, or just love a good ghost story, this one's for you! Also, if you have any paranormal experiences at CCBC or beyond, please submit them here!!
