Tabaci Memoriae
ITP Alumnus Michael Clemow presents his project, Tabaci Memoriae as an artist-in-residence at Mana Contemporary art gallery in Jersey City, NJ.
Mana BSMT artist-in-residence Michael Clemow presents his project, Tabaci Memoriae, through a symposium and site-specific installation that explores our relationship with tobacco from the pre-colonial era to the present day. The symposium will feature five guest presenters who will speak about a range of topics, including bio-art, tobacco as a raw material, the intersection of art and community engagement, and labor in art. Clemow will close the program with a presentation of his tobacco research at Mana, followed by a reception and walk-through of his exhibition, including original artworks, archival ephemera, and tobacco plants on display in Mana’s Lobby and front steps.
