Kei Takemura  |  To Remember The Past More Exacly
July 28 - August 23
Opening Reception July 28, 7pm

Kei Takemura's intent is to make visible the memory of two rooms, both of which were inhabited by relatives or friends but are now vacated or destroyed. Takemura uses life-sized drawing as an aid to remember more
information of past situations as she engages in the process of remembering. To augment her recollections of these spaces Takemura has asked the former residents to describe their own memories of the rooms, which Takemura then
sews into the drawing. Sewing takes time‹through this action Takemura can retain the missed information in her head and hands. She will adapt her work to the particular spaces of the Closet, Frame, and Stairwell of the Khyber Building.
