Constructing Memory Through Artistic Practices - 18197

Abstract

I have been investigating radioactive waste sites internationally since 1994, analyzing how this archaeological stratum of the 21. century can be read in the landscape. Over more than twenty years of work this research has led me to visit several sites around the world. My focus has become the identification of the disposal sites in the landscape, as well as finding ways to pass on memory. Reports on Disposal Sites and Exhibitions: - Dessel, Belgium - exhibition at De Markten, Brussels; - Sacavem, Portugal - participation to the World Exhibition in Lisbon; - El Cabril, Spain - workshop at the University of Bilbao; - Angra dos Reis, Brazil - exhibition at Centre cultural Puc, Rio de Janeiro; - Rokkasho Mura, Japan - exhibition at gallery Gen, Tokyo; - Soulaines D'Huys, France - exhibition at art gallery Cours Carree, Paris; - CSM, Beaumont-Hague, France - exhibition at the House of Culture in Tournai, Belgium; - Fortsmark, Sweden - exhibition at 340 Muzeum, Brussels; - Cnesten Maamora, Morocco - exhibition at Villa des Arts, Casablanca; - Bhabha Atomic Research, Trombay, India - I was allowed to visit it but it was forbidden to make photographs or drawings.
