Closed Sun., Mon., and National Holidays
Opening Reception: May 14, 6 – 8PM
An exhibition of new works from the “Time Memory” series (2011- ).
People understand “time” differently, but I personally think of it as the combination of “time and memory.” I think about “time” as a flow that continuously penetrates the infinite “layers” of memories of the past. That flow is not necessarily linear. It repeatedly moves forward, backward and in all directions within the layers of memory, even as it leads back to the present. With Time Memory, I view the “fragments of time” of the paper scraps as the “layers of memory,” and the drawn-in lines as the “flow of time.”
—Shinro Ohtake, excerpt from interview with Andrew Maerkle in SO X TN: Time Memory
