"The Lining of Forgetting explores the ways we remember, both as individuals and collectively, and highlights how we mostly forget, rewrite and fabricate memory. The exhibition features sculpture, photography, work on paper, installation, video and computer-generated works by fourteen artists of international scope, including Edgar Arceneaux, Deborah Aschheim, Louise Bourgeois, Janice Caswell, John Coplans, Pablo Helguera, Emma Kay, Dinh Q. L, Scott Lyall, David Rokeby, Mungo Thomson, Cody Trepte, Kerry Tribe, and Rachel Whiteread. The title of the exhibition is inspired by the narrative of French filmmaker Chris Marker's Sans Soleil (1983): ""I will have spent my life trying to understand the function of remembering, which is not the opposite of forgetting, but rather its lining."" This film, and others by Marker, reveal how memory is inconsistent and, thus, should never be mistaken for a manifestation of the past; rather, every time a memory is articulated it changes and shows itself linked to both the past and the future."
