Hanna Liden

Beatrice Inn is having a party and my girlfriend, Rachel Chandler, is going to DJ… I think A-Ron has something happening.

stayed at this really slummy hotel called the Creek. It was really ghetto. Me and Dash shared a room.

Look at her pics in this link

that show you had images of naked women wearing death masks in landscapes. HANNA LIDEN — Yeah, mostly, but there were some landscapes with no people in them. There was one called Black Sabbath that had a burning pentagram in it. And there was a picture of deer hooves I found in the woods. The deer had been eaten by a fox. There were 13 images, most of which were made in Sweden when I got stuck there trying to renew my visa. So they’re very influenced by Scandinavian landscapes. I don’t think I would have ever done them unless I had moved away from Sweden.

What about the candles in your show at Half Gallery, As Black As Your Hat? HANNA LIDEN — It’s sort of ritualistic, the act of burning down sets of candles to different levels. Many of the candles were Chinese, bought in Chinatown. There are lots of religious candles, too, including Jewish and Catholic ones. One of the reasons I photograph them instead of making sculptures out of them is because they all burn at different speeds and have different kinds of smoke when you blow them out.

sounds very sexual to me — different speeds, different kinds of smoke coming out of them… HANNA LIDEN — Yeah, I hadn’t thought about it as being sexual. They also look like cityscapes. Fleeting moments.

@kestral9 put some of Dash's background up

People say he was a child of privilege," says Peres, who knew Snow for several years before he represented him, "but he rejected his family and their wealth apart from the support he had from his grandmother, who was a kind of patron."

He was born into the kind of vast wealth that is usually described as "old money". In a 2007 New York magazine profile that incensed Snow and his friends, Ariel Levy wrote: "Snow's maternal grandmother is a de Menil, which is to say art-world royalty, the closest thing to the Medicis in the United States

And his brother, Maxwell Snow, is a budding member of New York society who has dated Mary-Kate Olsen."

Born to Christopher Snow and Taya Thurman - his aunt is the actress Uma Thurman - on 27 July 1981, Dashiell Snow was the great-grandson of Dominique and John de Menil, French aristocrats who amassed what is generally regarded as America's finest collection of art. It is based in a museum bearing the family name in Houston, Texas

Snow's rebellion against his family, and his mother in particular, seems to have begun in earnest when, as a disruptive child, he was sent by her to a boarding school called Hidden Lake Academy in Georgia which specialised in the treatment of children with Oppositional Defiant Disorder. It was recently described by a local fundamentalist clergyman as "a last-chance boarding academy that offers objectively defined teenagers an alternative to prison". Whatever happened to Snow during his enforced tenure there, he held it against his mother until his death.

He hated his mother more than anything," says McGinley. "But he never really spelt out why. He would even tell people his mother was dead. He never mellowed out on that.

When Snow was 18 he married a Corsican-born artist, Agathe Aparru, five years his senior. They lived with his grandmother for four years. It was Christophe who provided him with money when he was living by his wits on the streets of New York as a young teenager after coming out of Hidden Lake and fleeing forever the family home, and she who funded him as a struggling artist.

He must have been 15 or 16, and he was friendly with Patti Smith's son Jackson because as children they had attended the Little Red School House together, which is where all the artists' kids go. I was walking along with Jackson and I saw this gang of graffiti and skate kids across the street. Suddenly one of them came running over and just stood right in front of us, blocking our way. That was Dash. He was kind of in-your-face even then, a little rebel."

He hated any kind of authority so much," elaborates Grayson. "Not just the cops, but anyone telling him what to do. So much so that it was hard to talk to him sometimes about certain things, or even advise him. Basically, if you didn't accept him for who he was, the way he was, he would not accept you. You could never tell him what to do, you had to just..." Her eyes fill up with tears and she shakes her head:

Snow was in, and of, that lineage, just as he belonged to that arty, druggy, downtown demi-monde that has survived even the gentrification of the entire Lower East Side. His art was not so much a reflection as an extension of it. He undoubtedly had an eye for the telling detail, the captured moment, and because of this, I think, his often unflinchingly confessional Polaroids will live on. They possess a grim beauty that those of us who do not live such wild and reckless lives seem to find irresistible.

On 24 July Snow was found dead in a room at the Lafayette House hotel in New York's East Village. At the scene, detectives found two empty cans of beer, an empty bottle of rum, 13 glassine bags bearing traces of heroin and three used syringes. A means to an end.

Snow's body was discovered by his girlfriend, the model Jade Berreau, and a friend of the couple, the photographer Hanna Liden.

One thing in common these artist had is they got their work displayed at The Rivington Arms Gallery

Another, it seems is Dash and drugs

Hanna is the only female artist in group, so can't imagine how a lesbian fits in, maybe it was the dark side of the group

Some called them a cult, and it seems Chandler hung with them a lot

Many pics
