The University of Arizona Lionel Rombach Gallery is proud to present "Moment & Memory," an exhibition of work by Jessica Livengood and Alice M. Vinson.

There will be a reception Aug. 13 from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Universally, as we age it becomes harder to grapple with the vividness of memories as they rapidly fade in the recesses of our mind. In "Moment & Memory," Livengood’s and Vinson’s work approach both the ability to retain and recall information and responses to the idiosyncratic events in time. 

Livengood explores personal childhood memories lost long ago. The intangible ephemeron of life mixes with the present to create something wholly different from the time in which the memory occurred. Her photographs, shot from a childlike perspective, desperately search for those hidden moments that extend beyond the familial effects in front of her.

Similarly, Vinson reinvents personal memories and very specific moments in time to form artist’s books that hold both fictional and nonfictional snippets of what was or could have been.  Each item works individually to produce a meta-narrative about blue-collar work, alienation, homelessness and, ultimately, compassion.

Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The gallery is free to the public.

The Joseph Gross and Lionel Rombach Galleries are located on The University of Arizona campus between the Museum of Art  and the Center for Creative Photography. Parking is available on Second Street, east of Park Avenue or in the parking garage north of Speedway on Park Avenue.
