Shallow Graves
Nanna Debois Buhl
Eric J. Henderson
Meredith Nickie
Jaye Rhee
Ryan Roa
Benjamin Tiven
In drawing from the archive and ephemera of collective memory, these six artists reflect upon both private and public monuments and employ multi-disciplinary approaches in surveying the methodologies of tribute. Shallow Graves bridges the historical record or trace with the ways we remember and render the history in its particularity. These works repurpose the colonial footprint to alternately define heritage as the amalgamation of the real and the imagined and assert visual translation as a vital tool of biography.
