ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Title: Memory Sculpture: Penelope's Dream Size: 32 x 27,5 cm Year: 2019 Drawn on historical, lightly browned, paper, the “Memory Sculpture: Penelope's Dream" drawing is based on the poem "Penelope's Dream" (published 2022, Lyrik der Gegenwart, Edition Art&Science), which deals with Penelope's longing and inner perception as she waits for Odysseus. An important aspect here is the form of the "double-self". The poem "Penelope's Dream" is, among others, the basis for the award-winning film "The Remembering Movement"- produced by Moving Thought – Film+Philosophy. What would our lives look like, if we worked on our memories like they were sculptures? That is the initial question behind the concept of "Memory Sculpture" ("Gedächtnisskulptur.") Based on a symbol-language the displayed drawings act as thinking tools to design an internal architecture of sculptural memory. This work is signed on the reverse and provided with a work stamp as well as an artist stamp with information about the materials, year of creation, title, size etc.

Drawing as sculpting into oneself. "In Mersolis Schöne's artistic work, there are fascinating connections and correspondences between drawing, text, film, and music, on or in front of philosophical underpinnings and backgrounds, as well as between him and artists from all disciplines." (INSEL) Mersolis Schöne is a German Artist, Film Director, and Researcher based in Vienna, Austria. He is a member of Künstlerhaus Wien in Austria, The Professional Association of Visual Artists in Germany, and other associations. The Memory Sculpture drawings presented at Saatchi serve as process-oriented interaction and thinking tools to design an internal architecture of sculptural memory. They consist of a series of recurring symbols that are arranged in new compositions. Each symbol has a fixed meaning, and new meanings are created by combining these individual symbols into symbol formations. During the drawing process, places of reflection, encounter and conceptualization are to be created. For this reason, there is often interaction with other artists, in which the works are created during the performative exchange.
