“Before I Forget” Kristin Beck Exhibition
Join the Armory Art Center as it hosts the interactive exhibition of Floridian Visual Artist Kristin Beck!
Before I Forget is a series about dementia, memory, and identity. The body of work, created in response to helping my father who has dementia, visually represents the impaired and declining cognitive functions and memory lapses with portraits, 3D objects, and interactive elements. Some themes include repetition, reminders, response delays, reduced capacities, and realizations of losing a sense of self. In concert with these depictions are audience participation stations and a community-building project. Additionally, my goal is to raise awareness for dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
