Tara Bauer: Place in Memory
April 6 to June 15, 2013
The Cube

Join Kamloops based artist Tara Bauer to celebrate the opening reception of Tara Bauer: Place in Memory on Saturday, April 6 at 6:30 pm.

Place in Memory explores the relationship between people and place and reveals the common ground found in our memories of significant spaces. Tara Bauer interviews elderly people about their sense of home and community and asks her subjects to describe important places they feel tied to and resonate for them. She then creates paintings of "place in memory" based on these descriptions. The works are overlaid with text taken from the interviews and memory maps drawn by the subjects accompany some of the works, weaving together memories through a variety of sources. Much like memories, frosted glass in front of Bauer's paintings obscures imagery with cut out windows revealing elements while other details are fuzzy or lost.
