✅ Remember Me is a new exhibition of contemporary art at the recently launched Magdalen Art Space (Magdalen Road Studios exhibition space). The exhibition sees 9 artists from UK and Europe tackle notions of memory and loss in our digital and physical lives. It marks the first collaboration between the East Oxford-based artist-led space (Magdalen Art Space) and the online initiative Digital Artist Residency. The participating artists have been creating works online since the start of February which response to the themes of ✅ Remember Me. These works will be manifested in various forms for the physical show at MAS which will include sculptural work as well as video installations.
The exhibition launches with a Private View on Friday 8th March and is open Friday – Sunday 12 – 4pm until the 17th March.
Ideas of ‘memory’ in the post-digital age complexify with notions of digital storage and biological memory being intertwined. The fragility and power of all these (non)biological ecologies bring a variety of curious features which comprise our digital selves. We may have experienced loss within aspects of these lives; we may want to forget what the digital is too eager to remind us. The exhibition aims to explore the issues of memory, loss and digital materiality.
Artists involved:
Jake Astbury | Adam Blitz | Gene Chen & Sara Chyan | JaZoN Frings | Ben Hartley | Tom Milnes | Sebastian Thomas | Madeleine Whitelaw and ZOOX Collective.
9 artists will participate in a 2-month digital residency throughout February and March, which can be viewed here https://digitalartistresidency.org/. This culminates in an exhibition of the works produced in March 2019 at Magdalen Art Space, Oxford.
