Art Review: Selective Memory - Artists in the Archive

4/5

Selective Memory will appeal to people who enjoy labelling, and filing things in neat little boxes. This thought-provoking exhibition explores the archiving of artefacts and information. If that sounds dull, then rest assured that the concept expands into something greater, as it encourages us to contemplate the importance of memory — for factual or nostalgic purposes.

The curatorial concept is rigorously upheld, with paintings and photographs intermingling with the predilection for process-driven practice. This upholds the importance of the journey rather than the final destination, and presents us with a variety of ideas, images and objects to scrutinise.
