The Persistence of Memory: an exhibition by the CUE Teen Collective
Opening Reception
Saturday, May 18, 2019
4-6:30 PM

CUE Art Foundation is proud to announce the second annual CUE Teen Collective final exhibition. Entitled The Persistence of Memory, this thematic group exhibition features work by 23 teen artists from the 2018-19 CTC cohort. Asked to explore the concepts of memory and nostalgia, the teens responded in myriad forms including painting, mixed-media pieces, installations, and video work. The work presented in The Persistence of Memory explores many facets of remembrance, including commemorative pieces that celebrate past guardians and caregivers, painting series that highlight the significance of food to cultural memory, profound childhood recollections reproduced on canvas, images of places or journeys that provoke nostalgia, explorations of the purpose of collective memory, and work that recalls experiences of personal growth and loss. This exhibition showcases the efforts of the CUE Teen Collective, and marks the conclusion of their time in the collective over the 2018-2019 term.

The Persistence of Memory will be on view from May 18 – 23, 2019.
