September 19 - 29 / Online

Screening online now ON LANDSCAPES, RUINS, PATTERNS OF REMEMBERING

ON LANDSCAPES, RUINS AND PATTERNS OF REMEMBERING  is prompted by a work from the ArteArchive—Oraib Toukan’s performance video, Remind me to Remember to Forget (2006), after Mahmoud Darwish’s 1982 prose poem, “Memory for Forgetfulness.” The artist proposes to reverse the act of writing and the will to remember, consequently dispersing the written word and suspending it in memory and reimagination. Revisiting Toukan’s video eighteen years later, in a global context that remains anxious with war and impending invasions, Remind me to Remember to Forget is revisited in conversation with works by Basma AlSharif, Coleman Collins, Sky Hopinka, Emily Jacir, and Joe Namy.
