| 3rd Floor of Archiving Memory exhibit (Jamason Chen) |
Minneapolis, Minn. — Archiving Memory is a temporary site-specific public artwork contextualizing the Elmer L. Andersen Library, its collections, and architecture as a public memorial.
Archiving Memory transforms a rare, special collection of 12 photographs and oral histories from Austrian -- Jewish and Christian -- survivors of Nazi persecution and resistance into a 35-foot high public artwork and photography installation.
The purpose of Archiving Memory is to construct a temporary site of remembrance where design materials represent - and perform - historical experience and memory.
Photographer Nancy Coyne is the creator of Archiving Memory. She told the Current's Mary Lucia about the project.
