The Cynthia Corbett Gallery is proud to have been invited to participate in VOLTA NY 2010 with Ghost of a Dream who will present an installation entitled 'This Is It'.

The artist collaborative duo Ghost of a Dream work with Sculpture and installation to embody the essence of opulence, through construction of materials that end up in the trash. They mine popular culture for detritus that people use to attain their goals. Whether it is a romance novel someone reads to transport them into a dream reality, a religious tract promising the glory of eternal life, or a lottery ticket that gives the possibility of a future full of decadence - Ghost of a Dream use these remnants to re-create dreams. Eckstrom received an MFA Painting (Honors) 2005, and Was an MFA Sculpture (Honors) 2004, from Rhode Island School of Design. Ghost of a Dream have exhibited internationally, including an IAAB residency in Basel, Special Project at VOLTA 5 and as joint-winners of The Young Masters Art Prize, London 2009. 2010 exhibitions include, EXHIBITIONISM at The Courtauld Institute, Somerset House London and a retrospective at The Freedman Gallery, Albright College, Pennsylvania.
