SÉANCE Stories, Part I: An Illustrated Presentation with Shannon Taggart
Join us for photographer and former Morbid Anatomy Museum programmer-in-residence Shannon Taggarts book launch extravaganza, part I. With SÉANC Ea part documentary, part ghost story 18-years in the making Shannon offers a series of haunting images exploring Spiritualist practices in the US, England and Europe.
Supported with a commentary on her experiences, a foreword by Dan Aykroyd, creator of Ghostbusters and fourth-generation Spiritualist, and illustrated essays from curator Andreas Fischer and artist Tony Oursler, SÉANCE examines Spiritualisms relationship with human celebrity and its connections to art, science, and technology. It concludes with the debate over ectoplasm the elusive substance that is said to be both spiritual and material.
In this illustrated presentation, Shannon will share rare historical images and never before told stories behind the photographs lavishly reproduced in her monograph SÉANCE. Refreshments will be served, and Fulgur publisher Robert Ansell will be in attendance with books available for signing.
