The 2023 annual exhibition of C-LAB, Memory Palace in Ruins, explores the historical memories in dislocated time and space from the perspective of mediums, with the intersecting themes of “textualized history” and “materialized memories” to interrogate how historical memories remain in the contemporary life. The exhibition focuses on the past events as well as what afterwards happened to the historical moments, and how they were reinterpreted and reutilized, turning into cultural memories in another form.
To correspond to the themes of the exhibition, artist talks, professional talks, workshop and guides are held during the exhibition period, inviting viewers to contemplate from various aspects how cultural memories are materialized, and how historical experiences are textualized as well as recorded, circulated and transformed via mediums. Besides, in the exhibition, the work concentrating on people’s mental states after the Sunflower Student Movement, The Parthenon, which has been built through the engagement of the public, will bring participants to reflect on and recreate the Movement through a series of public events.
