Fragments of Memory, a selection of works from the Menil’s permanent collection, explores the ways in which the past imbues the present. In their drawings, the featured artists take up commonplace embodiments of personal and collective memory, such as scrapbooks, snapshots, notes, relics, and odes, to reimagine how we might access fraught memories and contested histories. In the hands of these artists, such as Gael Stack, Luc Tuymans, Sari Dienes, among others with works on view in this exhibition, the past becomes replete with possibility, proposing new understandings of our present.
