Inside a Memory
March 2023
Curated by Ekaterina Popova
ABOUT THE EXHIBIT
How do our memories and experiences impact our work?
As artists, we often create as a tool for visual processing. In turn, our work becomes a culmination of all that we have experienced in our lives thus far. Our memories, dreams, and perceptions are woven into narratives that are deeply personal and yet still universal. In this exhibition, we are showcasing that explores the connection between memory, experience, and perception, and how those elements inspire the creative process.
NOTE FROM THE CURATOR
I was so honored to be the guest curator for the Visionary Art Collective exhibition, Inside a Memory. The works of art included in this virtual show represent the range in style, subject matter, and media from the reviewed submissions. When making these selections, I strove to identify works that spoke directly and metaphorically to the concept of memory. Similarly, I paid equal attention to all the various media —drawing, painting, mixed-media, and more. As a result, the included artwork explores ideas of memory in diverse ways, engaging the viewer to explore the subject matter in depth. The aim of the resulting exhibition is to showcase the various contemporary art practices found globally that explore the topic of memory.
