The Revenant Archives (2006-2011) was a multi-faced project that involved printmaking, installation, research, and archival performance.
The Revenant Archives is an exhibit concerned with the visual and material culture of the paranormal. Consisting of artifacts, documents, ephemera, works on paper, and reconstructions, it uses folkloristic, parapsychological, and scientific means to offer new interpretations of ambiguous situations and to explore the conflicts and byproducts of belief in society. Through a fusion of historical methodologies with contemporary art practices, the Archive attempts to neutrally explore the blurring of boundaries between past and present, truth and fiction, and physical and spiritual reality. As archivist, Kristen Gallerneaux presented a number of traveling exhibits, public lectures, and maintains the holdings of the physical archive space.
