GROUP EXHIBIITON

‘Nonmemory’ brings together works by Mike Kelley and a group of artists – Kelly Akashi, Meriem Bennani, Beatriz Cortez, Raúl de Nieves, Olivia Erlanger, Lauren Halsey and Max Hooper Schneider – whose work shares a similar concern with the titular phenomenon, surveying various structural and institutional systems for gaps and voids and rendering them into new forms. For Mike Kelley and these artists, playing with the role of memory as it posits our perceptions of space and place, offers opportunities to re-imagine and recreate reality. Whether constructing new and imagined spaces with conventional materials or ‘warping space’ with new methods and technologies, the artists in this exhibition use space as the repository for dreams, fantasies, traumas, and anxieties in order to transform the past into new portals of collective reckoning and regeneration.
