Janine Antoni
Umbilical, 2000
Antoni’s work draws upon the complex, intimate relationship between mother and
child, and between objects and bodies. Antoni cast the inside of her mouth, cupped around the bowl of a monographed silver spoon, a family heirloom. At the other end is an impression of the space within her mother’s hand. Courtesy of the artist and Luhring Augustine Gallery, New York
Markus Kåhre
No title, 2012
The artist has conceived an inn: a welcoming and cosy environment where slight physical and sensorial shifts conjure against the peace of mind of the guests, suggesting that the site might be haunted.
Dane Mitchell
Spectral Readings (Liverpool), 2012
Ghost Paper, 2012
Mitchell has created a wall-based work incorporating Marcel Duchamp’s equation ‘A Guest + A Host = A Ghost’ into its design; and a series of hollow glass objects: containers or traps for ghost stories. The sculptures took shape and hardened as local tales were spoken into molten glass.
