Memory of Place: Thomas Doyle & Frank Poor

Memory of Place is a show based on the concept of time, place and memory. A place has different meanings for different people. Our existence and our identity are shaped by the geography of where we were born and where we live. The associations we create with a certain place give a specific meaning to it in our imagination. Our remembrances and our experiences create layers of meaning that is only significant to us as an individual. This show explores the meaning of a place, its effect on our memories and our imagination and the unsettling effect of displacement.  Co-Curators: Fereshteh Priou + Claudia Schipper

To make the show interactive and accentuate the importance of memories in this show, we created a wall in the gallery titled “Memories of Places…”. Through this wall, we encourage visitors to share their memories of a special place or a unique moment with each other.  More on our blog:  “Memory of Place”: Memory Wall
