Description
Produced in conjunction with Del Vaz Projects, Nonmemory presents seminal work from Mike Kelley in dialogue with seven contemporary artists whose works engage with the locus of memory, and its role as it posits our perceptions of space and pace. Nonmemory brings together works by Mike Kelley and a group of artistsKelly Akashi, Meriem Bennani, Beatriz Cortez, Raúl de Nieves, Olivia Erlanger, Lauren Halsey, and Max Hooper Schneiderwhose work similarly engages Kelley's titular concept: the non-memory' of the various institutional spaces or built environments he encountered in his life. Documenting the eponymous exhibition at Hauser & Wirth Los Angeles in 202324, the book also features reproductions of important works by Kelley, his foundational essay, Architectural Non-memory Replaced with Psychic Reality,' conversations with each artist, and a new text by exhibition curator and editor of the publication Jay Ezra Nayssan.
