THE INSTITUTE OF REMINISCENCE ARTISTS O L I V I A P U N N E T T, M A R I A N O D O R O N Z O The Institute of Reminiscence was a two-month residency at Artcore featuring artists Olivia Punnett and Mariano Doronzo that aimed to investigate relationships relating to memory association, repetition and reappearance, as well as forms of “active” remembering both in a private sphere and public sphere. For two months, Artcore became a think-tank to expand the boundaries of public debate about how the future of remembering is currently changing. Moreover the residency has critically played with ideas of memory and loss and its effect on the dream o f o v e r c o m i n g t h e f a l l i b i l i t y o f h u m a n m e m o r y. For The Institute of Reminiscence Mariano Doronzo presents Slides on a Light Box, a project aiming to literally light up and preserve a selection of memories on the cusp of being lost forever, or fading from recollection. Collected by the artist in a whirlwind of research and meeting with numerous Derby residents Doronzo’s work documents how Derby has evolved, changed or stopped in time. Olivia Punnett presents a body of work that responds through print, projection and sculpture to her personal interest in the fleeting nature of time and the remembered image. Her installation echoes with the emotion of loss, moving closer to a sense of feeling that is time specific: of a memory, a place, a moment; both of concealment and revelation.
