Forgetting Remembering

Do you believe that you remember events as they really happen? We have no reason to doubt our memories and thus notice our memory mistakes. Yet, our unconscious works with data provided by our senses—sight, smell, hearing, touch. As it turns out, the sensual data are incomplete; the unconscious fills in what is missing, and passes the perception to our conscious minds. In short, our brain, a mysterious complex machine, for now, is designed to fool us.

​

Memory as a concept for this exhibition of prints and books seemed befitting for two reasons. The first reason is the parallel between the memory and a matrix—a printing block that stands in the center of the creative printmaking process. 

​The presented works manifest artists’ investigations into memory.
