Autobiography:
Words and Images From Life
The exhibition Autobiography grew out of seeing three artists who were creating art that spoke directly to the heart. In the late eighties and early nineties, droves of artists turned to fashionable public issues such as child abuse, substance abuse and war. Most were quickly forgotten. On the other hand, Stephen Andrews, Kal Asmundson and Carol Dukes
began to create art from memory and images lodged in their minds. They not only remember, but through the process of translating the fleetingness of memory into visual form, confront larger issues of how memory functions, how much the present is ruled by the realness of the past. |
