Curated by Sso-Rha Kang of The Carnegie, Memory Fields explores the nuances of memory and its uncanny ability to transport culture, traditions, rituals, and feelings through space and time. Oscillating between place and placelessness, seven artists of diverse cultural backgrounds, Jesse Ly, Emily Hanako Momohara, Yoshi Nakamura, Migiwa Orimo, Kanthy Peng, Nayeon Yang, and Xia Zhang, present a series of actions, systems, and moments that are influenced by regional, national, and transnational experiences.
Memories have the potential to conjure joy, grief, and nostalgia, with their residue carrying through time. Memories are private, yet their preservation is contingent on being shared, creating an intimate exchange of moments lost in time and resulting in a transition from private to collective experiences. The intimacy of this form of storytelling can highlight the intricacies of how artists navigate histories that are grounded in personal, familial, and cultural narratives.
