The Memory Game - A Fine Art Photography Project in Process
Show of conceptual art project in progress to be updated throughout the month as Dover, NH artist Phoenix Mayet continues her work.
Dover, NH, December 18, 2018 --(PR.com)-- W.I.P. is an acronym for Work in Progress – WIP: The Memory Game is an exhibition of that process unfolding in real time with Dover artist, Phoenix Mayet. Phoenix will show work from her photography project The Memory Game, begun earlier this year. The exhibition at A Freethinker’s Corner in Dover will present the materials of her creative process – photographs, drawings, alternate images, and research materials will be gathered to offer viewers an inside look at the development of this conceptual art project. Viewers can look forward to the introduction of new material throughout the month as the artist continues her work.
Looking through the prism of her own experiences, The Memory Game examines those events from early childhood that shape us as human beings. The knowledge of death and our own mortality, guilt, love, and belonging are just a few of the watershed experiences or “limit situations” which have been identified by psychologists and philosophers as events that develop our world views. These pivotal situations and the memories associated with them will be examined through the prism of the artist’s own childhood experiences.
About the Artist: Phoenix Mayet is a conceptual artist, feminist, and social activist whose work addresses issues related to gender, trauma, and personal identity. She holds degrees from Cornell University and UNH. She maintains a fine art studio at the Washington St. Mill in Dover, NH.
About the Venue: A Freethinker's Corner is an independent new and used bookstore... and a little more, located at 652 Central Ave in Dover, NH. The name represents our core goal and philosophy; a place that provides a wide selection of books to encourage intellectual growth, foster reasoned opinions, and stimulate rational conversations and debate. Here you will find books penned by New England writers, music produced and performed by musicians from around the area, and visual art created by talented local artists.
