Curated by Kodwo Eshun and Anjalika Sagar of The Otolith Group and designed in conjunction with architect David Adjaye and Adjaye Associates.
The Black Audio Film Collective (BAFC) was founded in 1982 by seven undergraduates in Sociology and Fine Art: John Akomfrah, Lina Gopaul, Avril Johnson, Reece Auguiste, Trevor Mathison, Edward George, and Claire Johnson, who left in 1985 and was replaced by David Lawson. The collective formally dissolved in 1998.
Based in the east, and later north, London, they produced internationally acclaimed award winning slide-tape texts, films and videos.
The Ghosts of Songs has been conceptualised, curated and produced by Kodo Eshun and Anjalika Sagar of The Otolith Group, which they founded in 2002. The Otolith Group is based in London and their work includes film, video, sound, text and curation, that examine different platforms of contemporary art practice. Their films and installations have featured in international exhibitions - including The Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, The Biennial of Contemporary Art of Seville, Spain, The Hayward Gallery , and the Tate, London - and in 2006 The Otolith Group was the recipient of the Decibel Award from the Arts Council England. | | Description Source: | FACT produced literature | | Description Source Date: | 2007 |
