Ars Memoria

Ars Memoria contains reproductions of the artworks produced by Helene Nymann for the exhibition of the same name at Rundetaarn (a historical landmark and exhibition space in Copenhagen), as well as contributions from artist Joachim Koester, curator Iben Bach Elmstrøm, poet Mette Moestrup, neuroscientist Lauren Silbert, and psychologist Diana Ø. Tørsløv Møller, which elucidate the topic from their particular professional perspectives. The texts explore the themes of the exhibition, discussing the ideas of the Renaissance polymath Giordano Bruno and art historian Aby Warburg, while reflecting on Nymann’s ongoing exploration of the art of memory, both through contemporary scientific research and historical perspectives.
