With Nathan Lewis at Northern Spark in 2013. As part of a partnership with the Minneapolis College of Art and Design.

Manifestations provided the experience of a 19th century spiritualist séance parlor while contextualizing and paying homage to the history of the Depot’s transitory space. We were the guides through this ethereal installation and helped to conjure the spirits of St. Paul and beyond.  Attendees had the option to participate in several activities including: foretelling their own fates with divination cards and planchettes; viewing 3D spirit photographs; reading tales from St. Paul denizens (of days gone by); interacting with a medium; and entering the Spirit Chamber to collaborate on a unique photographic take-home memento.

This event served to connect visitors to people and neighborhoods of the city that have disappeared, and inform them about the once thriving phenomena of Spiritualism practiced by all strata of the American public – from presidents to peddlers.

Original work by the artists were incorporated throughout the installation—much of it produced using processes popular in the 19th century.
