Memories We Never Had
Âme Nue Hamburg, DE
Duo Exhibition with Lulu MacDonald
I don't know, I'm just trying to build a fun world – That's what model trains are all about – Imagination.
No they are about accuracy, people want to see the world around them, exactly as it is, but smaller.
Ok, well we could have part of the model very accurate and part of it very creative...I'm ok with that.
Yes, yes as am I.
Sergeant Terry Jeffords and Captain Ray Holt, Brooklyn 99
Memories We Never Had is an exhibition and collaboration existing between exaggerating languages, magnified memories and half-remembered associations. Thea A. Käszner and Lulu MacDonald focus on the pictorial implications of images. Both artists share an interest in how an image can become an object and how an object can become image. Working with ideas of translation, not only literally, as both live and create work outside of their mother tongue, but also because their works are fundamentally seen as being a language which is constantly being built. The works in the show are intimate translations, amplifications and zooms into crucial moments of Käszner's and MacDonald's creative practice. By combining the theatrical and the banal moments they begin to stream a consciousness with a potential to experience imagination. The spaces between a word, a thought and a memory are used to create realms which can be shared and presented. Language and its generosity become metaphors, locus' and vessel's for the creative process and there potentials as friendships and gestures of understanding.
