The Revenant Archives
The Revenant Archives is an institution 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 investigate the conflicts and byproducts of belief in society.
Through a fusion of historical methodologies and 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 Chief Archivist, Kristen Gallerneaux has presented a number of traveling exhibits, public lectures, and maintains the holdings of the physical archive space.

Kristen Gallerneaux was raised in a Spiritualist household near Paincourt, Ontario - a French Canadian village named after its 18th Century bread shortage. Upon relocation to Detroit in 2006, she began her work with the Revenant Archives, a project dedicated to the exploration and history of the supernatural.
After completing an MFA in Printmaking at Wayne State University in Detroit, MI, Kristen began her tenure as a MA Folklore student at the University of Oregon in 2009. Her current areas of research include: paranormal societies, idiosyncratic museums, cultural processes that emerge out of urban decay, and "visual legendry." She believes these explorations will be a lifelong project.
>>>The Revenant Archives are CURRENTLY ON VIEW at The Downtown Initiative for the Visual Arts in Eugene, OR until May 28th <<<
