The Ellen Sinopoli Dance Company will perform new work inspired by the Opalka Gallery’s exhibition “Séance: Photographs by Shannon Taggart.”
For the past twenty years American artist Shannon Taggart (born 1975) has documented Spiritualist practices and communities in the United States, England and Europe. The resulting body of work, Séance, examines Spiritualism’s relationship with human celebrity, its connections to art, science, and technology, and its intrinsic bond with the medium of photography. This exhibition presents forty-seven haunting images from the series, revealing the emotional, psychological, and physical dimensions of Spiritualism in the 21st century.
