Editor: Michael Challenger's "Rememory" is an intriguing print. The sharp lines and the title make me think about fragmented memories, like a deconstructed architectural space. What do you see in this piece? Curator: The title "Rememory" suggests more than just recalling; it hints at reassembling and perhaps re-interpreting the past. The geometric shapes, particularly in their interaction and fragmentation, remind me of the socio-political upheavals and dismantling of structures. The black foreground also evokes a sense of alienation. Editor: So, the deconstruction could reflect social changes? Curator: Precisely! How can we reconstruct our narratives and histories, especially when the foundations themselves have shifted? It prompts us to consider the power dynamics inherent in shaping collective memory. Editor: That gives me a lot to think about. Thanks! Curator: Indeed, it’s a call to critically examine the very narratives we inherit.
