„We often find meaning in a collection of images, which can be important for the accumulation of imagery and for survival. Alex Close and Paula Tyliszczak explore different ways in which images are collected and the different spaces that are created to hold memories. The artists will explore ideas of containers of memory, mobility, bodily perception and autonomy.“
Alex Close is a visual artist from Canada of Macedonian heritage. She works in the broad field of abstract painting, creating composite works that refer to distant memories or contemplative future1rrums. In this project, she departs from her usual practice, presenting an experimental hand-drawn animation and several drawings of the process and related sketches on the surrounding walls. This animation project explores the idea of engineering experience and the tradition of play to conceal the seriousness. It is part of her recent projects exploring the optics of trust – deciding what is realistic or legible from images or memories of layered and confusing experiences.
Paula Tyliszczak grew up in France and Poland and has a background in the arts and humanities. As a multidisciplinary artist, she works with video, sound and language. In her practice, she explores her interest in the intersections of art, medicine and history, subjectivity and objectivity, and the various conditions that inform the social body. For this project, she presents a tentative draft for a collaboration with her mother. Some of the areas Paula explores in the video include: personal family history, identity, the legacy of trauma, as well as exploring memories and creating a space for them.
