How do artists engage with memory? Some believe the task of art is to catalogue and preserve images for the future, giving memory a visible form. Then there are artists who create objects meant to convey a personal memory or evoke shared cultural memories. Still others play with images and ideas from the past, reframing them in new ways to encourage us to think about the reliability of historical memory as well as our own. Can we ever trust memory to be objective, or even true? Can art help us explore the fickle nature of what we remember, and how?
