The Department of Art History \, Visual Art and Theory at the University of British Columbia is pleased t o announce an exhibition and site-responsive re-configuration of Germaine K oh’s 2013 installation The Haunting.
A collection of old hou sehold lamps gathered from donations and thrift store shelves creates a clo ud of light. The sounds and vibrations of human presences\, picked up by a variety of sensors\, sparks the uncanny flickering of lights. These unfashi onable everyday objects\, many burdened by age or ugliness\, are revitalize d and brightened by their visible receptivity to the energy that haunts the space.
On view 24 hours per day from the exterior of the building\, through the north-facing windows\, the installation engages with multiple c ampus publics including passersby\; AHVA students\, staff\, and faculty\; a nd residents in adjacent student housing. The Haunting II is curat ed and coordinated by students Pamela Aracena Velazquez\, Ece Asitanelioglu \, Héloïse Auvray\, Olivia Cox\, Zoë Eshan\, Naomi Etukudo\, Haya Faruqui\, Violetta Lapinski\, Siyi (Pebble) Shi\, and Audrey Tulus\, supervised by P rofessor Althea Thauberger\, and in collaboration with the 2021 Koerner Art ist in Residence\, Germaine Koh.
