The exhibition takes its title from the works on view, a selection from Suh’s “Memory Gap” series, all of which are composed on hanji. The paper itself appeals to the senses, thick and creamy, and striated with pulpy veins that suggest the lined and wrinkled hands of your grandmother.
In Jonas Mekas, Open Archives at Mana Contemporary’s Chicago location, the exhibit employs a straightforward curation: Moving clockwise around the room, the objects follow the order of the newsletter’s release, the gallery lined with small gray floating shelves, one object per shelf.
