Blavatsky and Multimedia Installation Art Exhibitions

Goshka Macuga’s Madame Blavatsky -(Saatchi Exhibiti)

Blavatsky Multimedia project in Vancouver:

"Recently, Gruben’s interests in experimental narrative led her to conceive of an immersive transmedia experience inspired by the famed 19th century Russian occultist Madame Helena Blavatsky. One part play, The Secret Doctrine, and one part multi-media installation The Veil of Nature: Museum of Liminal Science, her project was a collaboration with Martin Gotfrit, composer, instructor, and Associate Dean of FCAT Undergraduate Studies, and Toronto-based designer Marian Wihak. "

"In their quest to find a universal visual language at the dawn of the 20th century, artists such as Piet Mondrian and Wassily Kandinsky drew inspiration from, amongst other things, the writings of esoteric thinkers," explained the team.

Theatrical cabaret show inspired by Blavatsky:
Perhaps the most prominent spiritualist of the era was Helena Blavatsky, founder of the esoteric movement called theosophy. Her Theosophical Society was based in an apartment on West 47th Street less than a five-minute walk from Ms. Sinclair’s place, filled with what an 1877 Times article called “elegant and curious bric-a-brac,” like a miniature crocodile swinging from the ceiling.
