Not Without My Ghosts: The Artist As Medium

Organised by the Hayward Gallery, this exhibition explores how artists from the 19th century onwards have used mediumship as part of their practice. Ranging from spiritual guidance to seances, trances and automatism, artists have used our friends on the other side to help them create visionary works for hundreds of years. This show, which is on in London prior to a national tour, starts with the wild and brilliant works of William Blake, before looking at Victorian spiritualist artists through to contemporary practitioners.
