Here's an incredible exhibition catalogue for some proposal/pre-seminar inspiration - 'The Dark Monarch Magic and Modernity in British Art' (2009 – 2010 at Tate St Ives) which examines the influence of magic, folklore and mysticism on British art ✨

We'd like to share our praise for this beautiful and thought provoking volume edited by @JamieRSutcliffe 'Documents of Contemporary Art: Magic' ✨ It's been a great inspiration to us in our research. If you haven't got a copy, you can find one here: shop.whitechapelgallery.org/…

Please find attached an amended version of our call for papers for the Curating Magic seminar that will take place in October 2022. After some feedback and discussion, we have revised the document to better express the aims of the seminar and the inspiration behind it.
