The Resonances of Eusapia Palladino#2

This reworking of The Resonances of Eusapia Palladino for The Ghost Tide is a multimedia installation of lifeboat jacket lights, Thames water, glass, wire, table legs, ceramics and textile, illuminated – suspended from the 6m high ceiling at Thames-side Studios Gallery.

‘The Ghost Tide exhibition situated next to the Thames Barrier in south-east London, evokes ghosts as a migratory tide, wash up along the shore of the Thames, their historical baggage in tow. Thamesside Studios Gallery and its surroundings are conceptualized as a temporary holding area for a ghost tide of haunted artefacts, performers and associated events, with the curators creating a supporting platform on which to manifest and interrogate the idea of the ghost.

The exhibition also explores the current presence of artists in this part of London as a migratory tide of creative flotsam and Jetsam which ebbs and flows as the city gentrifies and develops.’ from catalogue text by curators Sarah Sparkes and Monika Bobinska, The Ghost Tide
