"We are ghOSTed.
Reflectance Transformation Imaging makes visible the timespace of the erased and overlooked.
We are haunted in this old underground bank at the heart of the City of London by hOSTs of ghOSTs. The building is a shell holding itself up by memory, being prepared for regeneration.
Lost rivers echo in the basement. Traces of past occupation point to the future, divining by acronym:
Open Source Threat, Outer Space Treaty, Observed Survival Time.
For the past year we have been working and talking, thinking about material culture, cultural capital, power and estrangement. We’ve visited with entities in museum stores, jumped time zones and calibrated calendars to make connections. We present here actions, images, sounds and objects
On Second Thoughts.. Original Sound Track…
OST is a project developed by participants in the Prisoners of Love project.
Prisoners of Love: Affect, containment and alternative futures [funded by the AHRC GCRF project Imagining Futures] aims to connect UK museum collection items with their trans-national home peoples and bring emerging artists from diasporic communities in the UK, curators and researchers into conversation, to work responsively with complex histories and material practices, opening out extra-institutional art and archival practices in the form of artwork, story and theory. We have been working with the Horniman Museum and Gardens and Compound 13 Lab in Mumbai, India; Pitt Rivers Museum, Oxford and the Department of Archaeology at the University of Ghana in Accra; Hastings Museum and Art Gallery and the Mootookakio’ssin project based on Blackfoot homelands at the University of Lethbridge, Canada. This exhibition contains responses from the UK team, partners on Blackfoot Territory and Compound 13 Lab in Mumbai, India and works towards further collaborations."
