The Memorial – Death be Kind #exhibition #Melbourne #arts
The Memorial A display-case collection of inherited objects from over 100 people, plus accompanying zine.
June 29th – 25th July, 2010 The Memorial
For the first exhibition of DEATH BE KIND Claire Lambe and Elvis Richardson in collaboration present The Memorial an elaborate display-case housing a collection of beloved objects that once belonged to a deceased relative, friend, acquaintance or lover chosen by over 100 people from all walks of life who have kindly participated in this project.
The Memorial presentation is reminiscent of the small private museum and employs the language of display to create symbiotic dialogues through the relational placement of the works. A complex display case has been constructed so as to elevate the importance and meanings of the beloved objects and gently navigate the viewers experience of the gallery space.
The Memorial retells the stories behind the objects that we keep to evoke memory of the deceased, how these objects maintain ongoing relationship with the dead, and how these material possessions remain important in memory making. Each object has been documented and texts collected from the holder about their object to create a catalogue of texts that caption the objects personal meanings in a zine.
DEATH BE KIND is a twelve month project by artists Claire Lambe and Elvis Richardson.
Upstairs @ The Alderman – 134 Lygon Street, Brunswick East, Melbourne, Australia the gallery will feature a series of curated exhibitions bringing together artists and ideas around the circumstance of death.
Opening hours: Tuesday 6-8pm Saturday & Sunday 2-6pm Or by appointment 0401 346520 www.deathbekind.com
