RA Schools Public Programme: 'Screen Memory'
Jim Shaw, Jamian Juliano-Villani and Stephen Sutcliffe in conversation, chaired by Eoin Donnelly
Friday 24 February 2017 6.30 - 8pm
Geological Society, Piccadilly, W1
£5. Free to RA Schools students and graduates.
RA Schools Public Programme supported by the David Lean Foundation
The artists will be discussing their works displayed within the exhibition 'Screen Memory' at Simon Lee Gallery, curated by Eoin Donnelly.
Taking its title from the Freudian concept of ‘screen memory’, in which subjective reconstruction conceals a memorial event, the exhibition explores the way in which collective and personal memories are confronted within art. The three artists will present works that touch upon the humorous, traumatic and melancholic aspects of recollection, particularly in an age where memory is defined through our relationship to mass media.
Eoin Donnelly, Jamian Juliano-Villani and Stephen Sutcliffe will converse in person, with Jim Shaw live via video link.
