Between Memory and Invention features five artists who focus explicitly on biography and memory, including personal narratives and the stories of family, friends, and strangers.

To trace the landscape of a memory is a complex and disorienting endeavor. While our memories continually inform us of ourselves, our histories, and our relationships, they remain fractured, embellished, and constantly changing in shape.

The artists use storytelling, writing, the act of collecting, as well as dialogue and correspondence, as methods for exploring the personal. Through this process each becomes the medium for the translation itself, offering subjective interpretations of loss, identity, physical, and emotional ruptures. In charting the complicated internal landscape of memory, the artists featured in Between Memory and
Invention attempt to make tangible the intangible and make visible the invisible.
