“Phantom Hymn,” is a group exhibition featuring Michael Ho, Michael E. Smith, Michelle Uckotter and Joseph Yaeger. Playing with imagery drawn from cinema alongside other mass cultural tropes, the artists are aligned in their production of works which are both disquieting and sympathetic, ambiguous yet uncanny. Anonymous and absent bodies feature throughout the exhibition or are represented through material proxy. When viewed together, the collective impact provokes an effect similar to the attempt to recall an incomplete or false memory. Eluding resolution and open to interpretation, the narrative remains inscrutable.
