“Box with ribbon” by Sofia Areal
Discover the memory boxes that were on display in the exhibition "From me to me - a private collection" and are now part of the Art Library's collection.
Artist books/Archives/Memory boxes, on show at the exhibition From me to me – a private collection, at the Madeira Museum of Contemporary Art, from 7 April to 2 October 2018.
“In this box/book I put what my realities are, bases for my paintings later to be made. Bits of fabrics, sheets, photographs, a palette, plastic lids, in short, a non-countable number of bright, colorful memories that shape my work. They are intimate objects. They are treasure boxes.”
— Sofia Areal
