The five video artists of the exhibition, Janet Biggs (USA), Ali Kazma (Turkey), mounir fatmi (Morocco), Shaun Gladwell (Australia) et Jean-Michel Pancin (France), and the poet Robert Montgomery (UK) show us in diverse ways the preeminence of the body and its strategies for remembrance.
Catalog: Janet Biggs: Echo of the Unknown - available on Amazon Janet Biggs: Echo of the Unknown is a multidimensional exhibition combining video, sound, and objects that explore the role of memory in the construction of identity. Drawing from her personal memories of the effects of Alzheimer's on family members, heroic stories of public figures coping with the disease, and research conducted with neurologists and geoscientists, Biggs raises fundamental questions about how we become-and how we lose our sense of-who we are. With essays by Janet Phelps, Barbara Polla and Jean-Philippe Rossignol. Catalog to accompany an exhibition at the Blaffer Art Museum, January-March 2015
Catalog: No Limits: Janet Biggs - available on Amazon
