The 12 artists in Phantasmagoria: Specters of AbsenceChristian Boltanski, Jim Campbell, Michel Delacroix, Laurent Grasso, Jeppe Hein, William Kentridge, Rafael LozanoHemmer, Teresa Margolles, Oscar Muoz, Julie Nord, Rosngela Renn and Regina Silveiradraw on forms of representation associated with phantasmagoria and reframe them around contemporary notions of absence and loss, using spectral effects and immaterial media such as shadows, fog, mist and breath. A "phantasmagoria" was a precinematic theatrical show, devised in France in the late eighteenth century, which gained popularity throughout Europe in the nineteenth century. Long before blockbuster art exhibitions, crowds were wowed by these traveling shows, in which stories were performed with magic lanterns and rear projections that created dancing shadows and frightening melodramatic effects. These lively, interactive events incorporated narrative, mythology and theater in a single art form; they entertained a wide audience and provided a space to consider the otherworldly, mobilizing viewers' anxieties regarding death and the afterlife. This catalogue, produced for the traveling exhibition of the same name, includes a text by curator Jos Roca and his interviews with the 12 artists, as well as a newly commissioned shortfiction piece by Bruce Sterling. The exhibition is coorganized by the Museo de Arte del Banco de la Republica, Bogot, Columbia.
