Contextual memory
In this new series, Naomi Middelmann continues her exploration of memory and migration. Interested in juxtaposing media, techniques and elements, she explores the subjectivity of memory and of perception. More specifically, she is interested in how memories are transformed and reivented according to time and context. 

This second solo show of the artist at CdAC follows her first one in 2018. For several years, CdAC has been carrying and following the migration of Naomi Middelmann’s work.

The artist first «offered» to a group of participants in a workshop at the CdAC in 2017, a large canvas entitled «migration». This work, which had already been exhibited in a museum, was transformed into a collective work that the artist then named «unfinished, finished». The artist chose to experiment and question the impact of the public on the work of art. In continuation, her research did not end there, she has again transformed this creation into a series of multiple works named «You can never go home» that we can discover today, among other new paintings and drawings.
