Inspired by Emanuel Swedenborg’s journeys into the afterlife and renowned works Heaven and Hell, Arcana Coelestia and The Principia, Swedenborg House is pleased to present an exhibition by artist Simon Moretti. With Eileen Agar | Paul Becker | William Blake | Ithell Colquhoun | Haris Epaminonda | Paul Heber-Percy | Donna Huddleston | Derek Jarman | Linder | Goshka Macuga | David Noonan | Ben Rivers | Daniel Silver | Michael E. Smith | Pelle Swedlund | Joëlle Tuerlinckx | George Frederic Watts | James John Garth Wilkinson | and items from the Swedenborg House collection In exploring the enigmatic and mercurial figure of Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772) through a range of themes, including correspondences, symbols, analogies, duality, transformation, the realms of heaven and hell, cosmology, divine truth and angelic conversations, the exhibition will examine the longstanding connections between art and esotericism. Diagrammatic works, which suggest or taxonomize symbolism, are one interface used to encounter the hereafter featured in the exhibition. The installation will showcase new works by Moretti, alongside a diverse selection of works by guest artists. The exhibition will also include items from the Swedenborg House collection. A programme of events to accompany 'Hereafter', including talks and screenings will be announced soon! A publication will be launched in April 2025 including commissioned texts by Chloe Aridjis, Andrew Durbin, Jennifer Higgie and Deborah Levy. All welcome, but RSVP required for private view: [email protected]
