Occult London: The Medium is the Message
The College of Psychic Studies has a new exhibition called The Medium is the Message, which explores the connection between artistic practice and mediumship. The displays cover four flours of the college’s beautiful building at 16 Queensberry Place,South Kensington, where the college has been since 1925, and in fact marks the centenary of being in its historic home.
I went along yesterday on the first day the exhibition was open to the public and took the photos on this post. These show only a tiny fraction of the 100-plus artworks and rare archival materials on display. It brings together more than 30 artists from the mid-19th century to the present day, examining how artists have visualised supernatural connection and imagined radical futures shaped by the ghostly and the unseen.
The description of The Medium is the Message says it “invites visitors to consider the artist as a channel between worlds – as a receiver of visions, energies and ideas. It highlights the enduring role of mediumship within the College’s history, with particular focus on the vital contributions of women – as artists, mediums, and feminist visionaries.”
Anyone can visit The Medium is the Message for free from now until the end of January 2026 at 16 Queensberry Place, London, SW7 2EB. It’s open from 11am–4pm Tuesday to Thursday and at the weekend, and to 7pm on Friday. There are lates on Fridays 12 December and 30 January to 9pm. You can find out more here: collegeofpsychicstudies.co.uk/exhibition/
The photos show: pictures by Austin Osman Spare; digitised film by Paulina Peavy; art by Chantal Powell relating to Earth as Being, and Ithell Colquhoun’s dream journal.
