Re-constructions of history and memory in the field of contemporary art are inherently subjective – they move somewhere between factual and fictional, archival and imaginary, accurate and inaccurate. These creative re-creations do not aim to do justice to the past, but rather to the present. What is revealed, uncovered and changed through such personalised re-interpretations of history? How can the re-creation of our past help us to better understand our present?
These are the questions curator Nicole Beck asks in the upcoming group exhibition “RE-“. With this exhibition, Nicole Beck aims to illuminate the power of artistic re-creation to open up new ways of engaging with and healing past experiences. Through physical embodiment and material manipulation, the exhibiting artists repossess stolen histories, heal open wounds and discover personal truths.
