Installation

The artists in MemoryLab were invited to delve into and activate the holdings of HistoryMiami Museum and the Lynn and Louis Wolfson II Florida Moving Image Archives as a starting point, or a point of intervention, in the creation of new work. Using research and investigative methods, the MemoryLab project was developed as ideas that look simultaneously backwards, forwards, and inwards at individual and collective memory.

The exhibition featured a multigenerational group of artists who all have ties to Miami and currently reside in Miami, New York, California, and Seattle. The work of Elia Khalaf incorporates informational input from the public and will be enhanced and activated through social interaction during the course of the exhibition

MemoryLab was organized by HistoryMiami Museum and the Lynn and Louis Wolfson II Florida Moving Image Archives at Miami Dade College, and curated by Kevin Arrow and Barron Sherer of Obsolete Media Miami (O.M.M.). #MemoryLab2017
