- **Event Name**: Exhibit Opening: Shannon Taggart’s Séance
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 27 Jan, 2026 at 04:30 pm – Tue, 27 Jan, 2026 at 06:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Shannon Taggart first learned of Spiritualism as a teenager after a medium revealed details about her grandfather’s death that proved true. In 2001, she began photographing in the town where that message was received: Lily Dale, New York. Her project soon expanded to include séance rooms around the world in a quest to find and photograph ectoplasm — the elusive substance that is said to be both spiritual and material. Drawing from her acclaimed book Séance, this exhibition presents works from a twenty-year investigation into Spiritualism, exploring the religion’s obscured history and its intrinsic relationship with the medium of photography.

Shannon Taggart is a photographer and independent researcher based in St. Paul, MN. Her work has been widely exhibited, including at the Stephen Cohen Gallery in Los Angeles, the Photographic Resource Center in Boston, the Robert Mann Gallery in New York, and the Gallery of Everything in London. Her book, Séance, was named one of TIME Magazine’s ‘Best Photobooks of 2019’ and has been featured by CNN, Bookforum, The New York Times, the London Financial Times, Le Monde, The Washington Post, and The Paris Review, among others. Currently, she is working on an illustrated book on one of the strangest cases in the history of parapsychology, the Society for Research on Rapport and Telekinesis (SORRAT).

This exhibition is free and runs from January 27 to April 1.
