• • Trace/Memory - Evanston Art Center
  • 2603 Sheridan Rd.

  • The Evanston Art Center presents Trace/Memory, an exhibition that engages art and memory in a creative dialogue. Art, like memory, results from the human need to build an entire picture out of fragments. Small bits of information—or traces—are routed, selected, mapped, and catalogued for use in creating individual stories.

    The twelve artists selected for Trace/Memory demonstrate their awareness of this process in very different ways. However, each artist uses these traces as their raw materials, as much as they use paint, stone, metal, or fiber to express their memories. All of the senses as well as intellectual, emotional, and experiential information—varied and complex—are in play in the artists’ explorations. Using both additive and subtractive processes, the artists in Trace/Memory distort and reinvent reality to create each unique work of art.

    Admission to the exhibition is free. The exhibition opens Sunday, January 11 at 1 PM and runs through Sunday, February 15. An artist panel will be held on January 11 at 2 PM. Gallery hours are the following: 10 AM – 10 PM, Mondays – Thursdays; 10 AM – 4 PM, Fridays & Saturdays; 1 – 4 PM, Sundays. For more information, please contact Paula Danoff, Director of Communications, at 847-475-5300 ext. 206 or pdanoff@evanstonartcenter.org.
