Memory as art

I saw something recently that reminded me of an earlier post (Your Brain Is Not a Closet). I attended a gallery opening at BUIA in Chelsea. Artist Eve Tremblay’s show was called “Becoming Fahrenheit 451”. Ms. Tremlay actually recited Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 from memory (ok, with some starts and stops, but still, what an amazing accomplishment). Like the characters in the novel who memorize books, Ms. Twombley reminded us of how powerful memory is if we develop it.
