City Memory Laboratory | Exhibition opening ❖ Memory Exercise
Kaunas Artists’ House, together with ArchiTextura LAB, is opening an exhibition–research titled "City Memory Laboratory" featuring five creators.
◉ The opening of the exhibition is on November 27 at 6 PM.
◉ The exhibition runs until December 20 (except on December 7th and 8th).
The basis for the exhibition is the impact of the traditional media (photography, radio, film) on the imagination of Kaunas residents over the past 150 years, from the late 19th century to the late 20th century. The team of artists interprets the various conventions of city documentation prevalent in different epochs through contemporary perspectives and tools, aiming to bridge historical iconography with a modern mediated view, seeking to understand the architectural and urban phenomenon of the city hidden in collective memory.
The exhibition showcases works created by artists through creative workshops and expeditions around Kaunas made in photography, sound, audiovisual media, and interactive objects that allow for a fresh perspective on the documented urban heritage and open up new questions:
- How do we remember widely disseminated fragments of the city that were widespread in the past?
- How does the high turnover of contemporary mass images and sounds influence our memory?
- How does our memory change and mutate with the evolving means of documentation of our environment?
