an exhibition about memory, perception, and ghostly company.

a Haunted House draws inspiration from the short story by Virginia Woolf of the same name. Existing somewhere in the space between poetry, prose, love, and ghost story, Woolf’s 1921 work describes a pair of ghosts returning to the home they once shared, now inhabited by a new couple. The living narrator describes a feeling of something just beyond their perception, believing the couple to be searching for something they left behind.

Ghost stories, or more broadly, hauntings, require a suspension of linear time- a space in which the past, present, and future can exist simultaneously. This exhibition, then, seeks to occupy that space. Uniting these artist’s works is a presence of that which is absent. Here, the artists seek after ghostly impressions- of perception, of memory, of history.
