AS MUCH ABOUT FORGETTING SYMPOSIUM<\/a><\/strong>

\nSaturday 03 November,\u00a0<\/strong>11AM – 5PM<\/strong><\/p>\n

Contemporary art is absorbed by the\u00a0past, maybe like never before, at least not in the same way. Historical references abound, ranging from aesthetic quotes from art history to formal experiments and performative re-enactments, to the unfolding, revealing and reinterpreting of cultural-historical archival\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

phenomena. The passage of time gives us both history and memory, and yet tensions exist between these two. Is what we remember what actually happened, and is history factual or an<\/span><\/p>\n

interpretation, subject to revision and change? Is it possible to reclaim, re-enact or recall our pasts as imperfect and to sanction a space for forgetting as a means to create a future tense – to free ourselves from weights.<\/p>\n

We live in a time of quantitative data collection through proliferating social media platforms with their accompanying server farms. Here everything can be logged, tagged and stored \u2013 a potential archive for all eternity. We know that we want to be seen as ourselves, or the selves we want to be, however these dynamics also speak to and through illusions and other drives, of wanting to hold, mine and to make tangible in the ether.<\/p>\n

The aim of our symposium is to run in another direction and explore the potential of forgetting. This is not about simple binaries, we all know the importance of remembering but what is the significance for forgetting on a historical, social, structural and artistic level? Our trajectory is to move beyond positives and negatives and to stride into a richer field where the possibilities of forgetting are approached, as if peering at an unfurling hand.<\/p>\n

For a day, let us explore what might be brought into play through acts or the act of forgetting. Let us discuss modes of erasure and removal; of fiction and myth and consumption; as we try to pop forgetting into our mouths, to see how it tastes. Why not consider forgetting as a molecular cocktail of dark matter and celebrate its potential as a formula? We could take this by examples – art, film and architecture, to examine the kinks and quirks that might constitute the history of forgetting.<\/p>\n
