SUMMARY:Rose Rigley Performances  - every Friday
DESCRIPTION:ROSE RIGLEY\nObject Performances\nWitness artist Rose Rigley sort through sentimental items from her mother’s archive\, within the NorthSite exhibition space each Friday during the exhibition. \nExhibition runs: 2 OCTOBER — 5 DECEMBER 2020 | Performances Fridays 10am – 12pm & 1pm -3pm.\n9th October \n16th October \n23rd October \n30th October \n6th November \n20th November \n“OBJECT is a collaborative project which asked the community to provide their keepsakes as the basis for the drawings and artworks in this exhibition. The cataloguing of these numerous objects references a biographical\, lived memory. Yet in themselves\, these items are mute\, thought-less and inanimate things removed from their everyday context. Although the special objects are linked with personal histories\, their status as keepsakes create questions regarding social recollection and archiving practices. Objects can remind us of another time and place. They ‘speak’ of love and loss. The fullness of their presence reminds us of what is missing. We activate them with memory and meaning and\, in return\, they become our memory-keepers.” Rose Rigley
