Hauntology

Kevin Killian interviews co-curators Larry Rinder and Scott Hewicker about Hauntology (on view at BAM/PFA from July 14 through December 5, 2010). This exhibition focuses primarily on the museum's recent contemporary acquisitions, mixing these with a number of other works representing a wide range of periods and styles. Although the artists included in Hauntology do not necessarily see themselves as part of a larger movement, when viewed collectively a number of resonances appear, not unrelated to the musical interpretations of the theme. Works in Hauntology frequently incorporate archaic imagery, styles, or techniques and evoke uncertainty, mystery, inexpressible fears, and unsatisfied longing.
