The Witching Hour

New exhibition makes the strange spooky

The Witching Hour will cloak Ealing’s PM Gallery in darkness for the next two months. Having appeared first in Birmingham, the show now ghoulishly manifests itself in London, with the updated subtitle, “Darkness and the Architectural Uncanny”.

“It is very exciting to bring the cream of the Midland art scene to London, to showcase talent from outside the capital,” says Matthew Price, the exhibition’s curator. This showcase includes Turner prize nominee Richard Billingham, alongside Graham Chorlton, Toby de Silva, Ravi Deepres, Chris Keenan, Idris Khan, Sally Payen, Ged Quinn, David Rowan and George Shaw. “We have refreshed the exhibition and added an architectural emphasis since the original show,” continues Price and, while the jewel-encrusted skeletons and morbid masks of the first exhibition were of clear fortean interest, the new exhibition plays on a more refined, atmospheric notion of spookiness.

Toby de Silva, (the artist, not the character from Casualty) shows ‘Haunted’, a video installation playing a cycle of eerie night scenes, accompanied by the stories of the spirits seen there.
