Commonwealth and Council presents Memory Screen by Cayetano Ferrer. Through his inquiry into conservation and restoration practices, Ferrer examines the cultural and psychological dimensions of efforts to fill gaps in knowledge when reconciling fragmentary objects. The works in Memory Screen–amalgamated from disparate remnant components–assert a seemingly self-determined logic and coherence while showing the seams and fissures that inflect the patchwork frames of reference, both personal and cultural, we use to make sense of the world. In Memory Screen, Ferrer interrogates devices that filter and frame how we apprehend our surroundings, thus drawing the viewer to the negative spaces and voids around their structures. Working with forms shaped by multiple authors, he proposes compositions where existent forms morph into imagined ones, acknowledging a psychological tendency to extrapolate the unknown to construct a comfortable sense of wholeness, drawing on our inherited values, social codes, and personal proclivities.
