LOST & FOUND PROJECT
community open call - lost & found ART project 2023
Everyone has a story about an object that they cherish, that holds their memories of home. It’s not just a matter of sentimental attachment; it is like a physical imprint of the life lived, material evidence of what would otherwise be relegated to our memory alone. That is why our homes and everything we accumulate over the course of many years constitute material evidence that we were here, on this planet. Objects or routines anchor us and contribute to a sense of comfort, stability, and safety. This installation brings together members of the community to explore the connections made with objects, past memories and culture.
HOW TO PARTICIPATE
1. Bring your object to Channel Island Gallery during Gallery hours ( 10am - 6pm).
2. Label the object in the bottom with your name, contact info.
3. Sign the agreement to participate, with permission to use your voice recording as part of the “Lost & Found” Art Installation.
4. Record up to a 2-minute voicemail with your personal story about what this object means to you or to your family, how it connects you
and to the memories of home. You can leave your name or leave an anonymous message- it is up to you.
