Charles Sandison Exhibit

Sunday, February 6th, 2011

The Peabody Essex Museum is currently exhibiting an installation by artist Charles Sandison in the museum’s East India Marine Hall. Sandison is best known for his work with digital projections and for this exhibition he has created a work based on the words of 18th century ship captains, as recorded in their logs. By projecting these words on the walls of the Hall, he creates a display that references the history of the museum’s location. The exhibit will be on display until April 24, 2011.
