Thinking about Art, Psychoanalysis and Science as writing against forgetting
MnemoArt is an experimental research movement composed of artists, psychoanalysts, and researchers, founded in 2008.
MnemoArt was founded by Tamara Landau and Jean-Pierre Landau, both psychoanalysts and artists engaged in an original reflection on the unconscious, the imprinting and the representation of time through plastic figuration and writing.
At the crossroads of art, science and psychoanalysis, the singularity of the MnemoArt movement lies in its use of creative acts to develop a new representation of the subject, the body and memory.
Un regard particulier est porté sur la transmission, l’oubli ou l’effacement des traces dans la mémoire inconsciente des expériences traumatiques vécues par les parents dans l’histoire individuelle et collective, transmises par les rêves à l’enfant avant la naissance.
A particular attention is given to the transmission, the obliteration or the erasure of traces in the unconscious memory of traumatic experiences lived by parents in individual and collective history, transmitted through dreams to the child before birth.
In the fight against oblivion, the MnemoArt movement also develops a work of memory around traumatic events that have been erased or denied of History, the Armenian genocide and the Shoah in particular, through testimonies, symposiums and books.
For this purpose, the MnemoArt movement organises, together with those from all disciplines that join or intersect with it, exhibitions and performances in galleries and museums in different countries in order to continue to question the position of the subject in science, History and contemporary society.
Tamara Landau's installation ‘Space and Dream 1’ depicts a child's first dream before birth. It was selected for OPEN XI, an international sculpture exhibition in Venice in 2008.
Tamara Landau’s installation Space and Dream 1, featuring paintings by Jean-Pierre Landau and scenography by Bruno Contensou, was selected by the official jury to represent France. On this occasion, Tamara and Jean-Pierre Landau founded the MnemoArt movement.
Designed by Tamara Landau, ‘Space and Dream 1’ is located on the Lido hill facing the sea and connects the artist to the mother, the sky and the earth in an interactive way: it is the footsteps of the spectators on a ‘magic carpet’ that activate the lights and images of the artist, still a foetus wrapped in her amniotic sac.
The installation is based on Tamara Landau’s concept of enclave, which suggests that the first dream before birth is the subject’s first poetic writing. It is this first imprint of their existence that allows children to subsequently become part of life, time and memory.
