MEMENTO MORI
remember that you have to die...
On exhibition 24 June to 12 July, 2008
A memento mori is an object that is kept as a reminder of the fact that death is inevitable. The term originates from Latin and translates loosely as 'remember (that you have) to die'.
The idea that a work of art can function as a memento mori is a central theme of this exhibition. More broadly however, the artists in this show examine the place of memory in art - art as memorial, as memento and as keepsake.
