Exhibition: Remembering is Everything
Alter Space Gallery is pleased to present the exhibition "Remembering is Everything," January 17-February 23, 2013. It is free and open to the public. Opening reception, Friday, January 18, from 7 to 10 p.m. "Remembering is Everything" features commissioned works by six American artists. In the fall of 2012, all of the artists were shown an original video created by the curators as a prompt to memory. Then, each artist was asked to formulate a response using the video's structure and elements to create a work that centered on his or her remembrances. The artists were asked to consider the video as they would any other witnessed event; and after they viewed the video, it was destroyed. The works in this exhibition span a wide range of media from painting to performance, reflecting the artists’ interests in memory, perception, narrative, and representation. "Remembering is Everything" includes work by artists Yayoi Asoma (New York), David Kasprzak (San Francisco), Kate Nartker (San Francisco), Nancy Nowacek (New York), Melody Owen (Portland, OR), and Stephen Slappe (Portland, OR). This exhibition was curated by Bean Gilsdorf and A. Will Brown.
