Kunsthalle Düsseldorf Räume der Erinnerung
Art as a technique of remembrance: The catalog of the correspondent exhibition compiles a number of works that engage in different ways with spaces in which a particular experience has been stored. In so doing, historical, philosophical and psychological questions relating to memory are likewise articulated. The works on view show on the one hand how memories, although at first always based on an individual experience, can evolve into collective memory (Anri Sala), or they demonstrate the destruction or re-dedication of "memory monuments" (Cyprien Gaillard), explore the transience and changeability of memory (Tatiana Trouvé), look at how memory spaces can be reconstructed and reorganized (Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster), address historical traumas (Kader Attia), or visualize a conundrum of our digital information society: that it is just as difficult to leave a lasting mark of our identity as it is to completely erase all the traces we have inadvertently left behind (Mircea Cantor). The participating artists are all winners or nominees of the French art award Prix Marcel Duchamp, which since 2000 the ADIAF (Association pour la Diffusion Internationale de l'Art Français) gives to a young artist who lives in France.
