Spoilers Allowed by Lucie Goulet is about the way art, film, fashion and literature are in dialogue with each other. My favourite thing is to link a book I have read to a movie I have watched to an exhibition I have visited, and that is what I do in this newsletter. It doesn’t matter whether it was the artist’s original intention; what matters is how they are linked in my head. Come overthink with me!

Here are a few types of content you can expect:

• The quarterly Read/Watched/Visited, with reviews and an unscientific graphic where I rank everything by how good it is and how much I have enjoyed it. | Read one here

• The Cerulean Spiral, where I untangle the connections between my current obsessions. | Read one here

• My Catherine Morland series, where I watch movies through a Gothic lens. | Read one here

• Deep dives into my inspiration as I collage and screenprint my way through a tarot deck. Whereas with the other pieces, I look at how different artists are in conversation with each other, here it’s how I am in conversation with them. | Read one here
