Description
How art - with its mnemonic structure – reenacts history? Both history and art are structured with mnemonic complexion. History is the chronological records of the bygone socio-political events; and through object, be it artwork or concept, art reenacts memory. In the contemporary world, the spatial-temporal structure has been accelerating by technology; the acceleration alters relation between objects and history. Events are forgotten before they become memories. Against this background, how art - with its mnemonic structure – reenacts history?
