Memory Palace: Exploring Time, History, And Memory
Because we're born within the context of time, like fish in water, we forget that it too is a medium and subject. It is a part of all we do. When we're young, time seems to pass very slowly. As we age it seems to move more swiftly. Memory is a sense we evolved to help us perceive our place in time, outside the now.
The ancient Greeks personified memory as Mnemosyne, a titaness who with Zeus mothered the nine muses. Furthermore, the ancient Greeks and Romans described the Method of Loci (memory palace technique) for organizing and recalling information through spatial visualization and association.
All forms of art are affected by time and memory. Some artists realize and embrace this, and it becomes the content and subject of their work. Sometimes the best impacts of visual art are delayed experiences in memory. Whatever the case may be, Manifest has set out to present an exhibition of diverse works which address, depict, or incorporate the themes of Memory, History, and Time.
