Vessels of Memory

EVENT DESCRIPTION

Marcel Proust once said, “The only paradise is paradise lost,” highlighting the bittersweet nature of memory.

Titled Vessels of Memory, this group exhibition investigates how memories shape our sense of being in a world with rapid social changes through the work of 13 artists including Alimi Adewale (b. 1974, Nigeria), Enrico Marone Cinzano (b. 1967, Italy), Philip Colbert (b. 1979, UK), Leonardo Drew(b. 1961, USA), Du Zhenjun (b. 1961, China), Gonkar Gyatso (b. 1961, Tibet), David LaChapelle (b. 1963, USA), Antony Micallef (b. 1975, UK), Samuel Nnorom (b. 1990, Nigeria), Babajide Olatunji (b. 1989, Nigeria), Gatot Pujiarto (b. 1970, Indonesia), Michael Staniak (b. 1982, Australia), and Danful Yang (b. 1980, China).

Divided into five distinctive chapters, this cyclical exhibition addresses the formation, deformation, loss, and preservation of our memories. Audiences are invited to transverse between different spheres to come to terms with the amorphous qualities of memory.
