Join us for the book launch and a discussion on the new publication dedicated to ‘Nonmemory’ – the exhibition that brought together seminal works by Mike Kelley with a group of contemporary artists at Hauser & Wirth Los Angeles in 2023 – 24. ‘Nonmemory’ curator and editor of the publication Jay Ezra Nayssan will be in conversation with artists Kelly Akashi and Max Hooper Schneider to discuss Kelley’s concept of ‘non-memory,’ with Paulina Pobocha, Robert Soros Senior Curator at the Hammer Museum, as moderator. Designed with Kelley’s conceptual formulation of ‘non-memory’ at its core, the publication will feature a new text by Nayssan, reproductions of important works by Kelley and his foundational text, ‘Architectural Non-memory Replaced with Psychic Reality,’ documentation of the exhibition, and a series of conversations between participating artists and contributors: Kathryn Andrews, Myriam Ben Salah, Ruba Katrib, Jova Lynne, Ceci Moss, Mary Clare Stevens and Daniela Lieja Quintanar. ‘Nonmemory: Mike Kelley with Kelly Akashi, Meriem Bennani, Beatriz Cortez, Raúl de Nieves, Olivia Erlanger, Lauren Halsey, and Max Hooper Schneider’ is co-published by Hauser & Wirth Publishers and Del Vaz Projects. This event is free; however, reservations are recommended. RSVP: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/book-launch-talk-on-mike-kelley-with-curator-jay-ezra-nayssan-and-artists-tickets-1033812981457
