Seeds of Memory

The new contemporary art exhibition Seeds of Memory in the Fries Museum. In this large group exhibition, artists use traces of the past to tell stories.

About the exhibition

They depict memories and histories that may have taken place or have been invented, restructuring facts into a new story. The stories unfold in imaginative works in which landscapes, animals, materials and objects are always the starting points: from the artificial division of the animal kingdom to an invented city, and from the long history of a noble Frisian estate to ancient traces in the landscape.
