GHost
Hosting I: Haunted Houses

20 October 2009, 6.30pm, Court Room, Senate House (South Block), University of London, Malet Street, WC1 7HU

GHost is organised by Sarah Sparkes and Consortium alumna Ricarda Vidal. It brings together artists, writers, curators, researchers and others to investigate the various roles ghosts play in contemporary culture. It consists of two workshops, so-called ‘hostings’ and an exhibition and screening of moving image art. The hostings take place in the haunted rooms of Senate House on 20 October and 17 November and the exhibition will be hosted by St John’s on Bethnal Green on 18 December. Both ‘hostings’ will be documented by the artist Julian Wakeling with a series of ‘ghost images’, which will haunt St Johns on the night of 18 December.

GHost is organised with the support of the Institute of Germanic and Romance Studies, School of Advanced Study, University of London and St John’s Church on Bethnal Green
