Phantomsequor—from phantom, meaning ghost, and sequor, Latin for “I follow”—brings together the work of contemporary artists with their long-deceased predecessors. New commissions and selected works by Issi Nash, Tom Hardwick Allan, Arthur Poujois, Thomas Pellerey Grogan, Eva Yates, Archie Fooks-Smith and Sofya Shpurova are shown alongside works by Leonard Beck, Christoph Nathe, Edmund Kesting, Jean Fautrier, and Luise Danker. The result is a subtle dialogue in materials, techniques, and sensibilities – echoes across centuries that blur the boundary between past and present. Through these constellations, Phantomsequor offers not a chronology, but an atmosphere connecting artists across time.
The exhibition is co-curated by Archie Fooks-Smith and Emanuel von Baeyer.
