Tarot Late with card readings by Sharon Gal
Visit the exhibition Tarot – Origins & Afterlives after hours and stay to watch tarot readings with participating artist Sharon Gal.
Sharon Gal’s Etudes (2021) uses tarot’s 78-card deck format to invite playful contemplation and experimentation. With text on one side and colour on the other, the cards act as a catalyst to inspire and trigger the imagination.
For Gal’s readings, the artist invites people who are in a process of developing, thinking or working on a creative project to use the reading and engage with the Etudes to consider their process and idea(s). Please bring a project or idea to discuss during the 20-minute reading, bookable in advance.
Visitors to the exhibition who have not booked a reading with Sharon Gal are welcome to watch and observe the readings. The readings will take place in the Reemstma Auditorium, adjacent to and easily accessible from the Kythera Gallery.
