SUMMARY:Exhibition:Digital Engrams
DESCRIPTION:The notion that our brains actually create memories first stored and then revisited has been contemplated since the time of Plato and Aristotle. These units of memory\, or engrams\, are poetic portals through which we time travel\, gaining hindsight and foresight\, more meaning and greater wisdom\, and hopes for a future less encumbered. Beyond reminiscences of technicolor sunsets\, perhaps memories are simply the brain's records of endless repetitions and familiar neural pathways.\n\nIn an era of iPhones\, Macbooks\, Instagram\, and Facebook\, everything that’s happened to us in recent memory is at our immediate disposal and made to look better than the original … every day of every year\, every meal of every trip\, every postcard destination. With constant 24/7 access to the newsreel of our own lives\, are we losing our innate ability to remember what matters in the process? \n\nIn Digital Engrams\, L.A. artist Gabriela Ruiz combines sound\, video\, light and sculpture to create unexpected environments that challenge our sensibilities. The installation considers how images function on and off the screen\, and how memories real and curated are the crux of personal and cultural identity. Who do we think we are in this life or the eternal life on the internet hereafter? \n\nRuiz’s spatial inquiries grapple with the potential erasure of the rituals of memorialization and the richness of material culture so important in her own Latinx heritage and to her sense of self.\n\n–Amanda Krugliak\, IH Arts Curator\n\nAbout the artist:\nGabriela Ruiz is a self-taught artist whose practice blends diverse forms of expression and media\, including sculpture\, video\, painting\, and apparel design. Her sculptures incorporate found objects and industrial materials\, such as thrift store furniture and insulation foam. Strongly influenced by growing up in L.A.’s San Fernando Valley to immigrant parents from Mexico\, Ruiz’s practice is a reflection of the DIY work ethic she was raised under\, the vibrancy of Mexican cultural and artistic traditions\, and her exposure to subculture and fantasy at a young age as a means to escape the realities of daily life.\n\nOne of L.A.’s rising young talents\, she presented her solo show Stream at the Palm Springs Art Museum in 2022\, part of the museum's Outburst project.\n\n*Gabriela Ruiz is the Jean Yokes Woodhead Visiting Artist at the Institute for the Humanities. This exhibition is part of LSA's fall 2023 Art & Resistance theme semester.*

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Holding Places Exhibition by Satchel Lee
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours: Mon-Fri\, 9 am-5 pm or by appointment: serrag@med.umich.edu\nBorn and raised in New York City\, Satchel Lee is a multi-media artist whose work can best be described as portraiture. Through collaborations with her immediate community\, and also using herself as a subject\, Lee draws inspiration from the quotidian\, creating offbeat images that aim to preserve this moment in time\, (re) examine memories (especially those clouded by confusion) all the while asking questions around identity and existence.\n\nLee holds a BFA from the Maurice Kanbar Institute of Film and Television at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. She is currently pursuing her MFA in Photography at School of the Art Institute of Chicago.\n\nIn Lee’s photographic exploration\, she investigates the profound connection between places and structures and the echoes of trauma that inhabit them. “Holding Places” is an exhibition that immerses viewers into a visual narrative\, inviting them to witness the power of space as holders and conduits for personal memory.\n\nBy reconstructing these places by hand in model scale and rendering them not as they were\, but how she experienced them\, she is able to navigate intimate details and hidden narratives that exist within them. The process of crafting these miniatures becomes a meditative contemplation\, giving Lee time to sit and reflect on these past events.\n\nThrough Lee’s lens\, they capture the visual manifestations of the ghosts of the past. The photographs offer glimpses into spaces where anguish\, conflict and distress have left their imprints\, sometimes visible\, sometimes buried beneath layers of time (and self preservation).
