Psychic Projections/Photographic Impressions: Paranormal Photographs from the Jule Eisenbud Collection on Ted Serios

The Albin O. Kuhn Library Gallery presents Psychic Projections/Photographic Impressions: Paranormal Photographs from the Jule Eisenbud Collection on Ted Serios. For several years in the 1960s psychiatrist Dr. Jule Eisenbud, a faculty member at the University of Denver, conducted experiments with Ted Serios, a Chicago man who possessed an apparent ability to place images from his mind onto Polaroid material using psychic energy. Over the course of these experimental sessions Serios produced a vast body of photographs, or "thoughtographs," that continue to baffle researchers and critics to this day.

Drawn from The Jule Eisenbud Collection of Ted Serios and Thoughtographic Photography in UMBC's Photography Collections, the photographic images in this exhibition illustrate Serios's paranormal abilities, reveal themes and unique characteristics of his "thoughtographs," and offer insight into the extensive body of scientific experiments whose results have never been disproven.

On Thursday, February 3rd at 6pm, Dr. Stephen E. Braude, professor and chair of the Department of Philosophy at UMBC, will present a public lecture on Serios's work.

The Gallery is open Monday through Friday, 12 noon to 4 pm, on Thursday until 8 pm, and Saturday and Sunday 1 - 5 pm. Admission is free. For more information call 410-455-2270.

Into The Light / Into The Dark Opens @ School 33

Into The Light/Into The Dark, the current exhibition downstairs (and in the stairwell and small/dark room upstairs) at School 33, is an extensive look at media art, in an old-fashioned way. Having a reminiscent feel of "technology" as the term was used in the seventies and eighties, the gallery is dimly lit with the constant blue and green glow of projected imagery.
Video shorts from the mid-70s to early 90s are paired appropriately with nearly-obsolete artifacts: wall sculptures made from vhs tapes, and collages made from old photos and film stills, presented in a photo-copy format. The overall aesthetic is very UMBC (0ld/new media presented in a clean, professional way), which makes sense, as the artists are all affiliated-although, oddly enough, I discovered this after having made the declaration.

School 33 did an amazingly professional job at meeting the needs of the unique show, building a wall to separate video projections and adhering to the precarious light situations for each piece.
Don't miss Into the Light/Into the Dark, featuring the work of Christian Valiente, John Sturgeon, Phil Davis and Bonnie Crawford Kutola, on view at School 33 through December 13, 2008.
