2014 Manning Clark House Day of Ideas
Friday 17 October 2014, 9:30am - 4:30pm at the University Club Banquet Hall, UWA
Often translated from the Latin as ‘remember you must die’ or ‘remember your mortality’, Memento Mori serves as a symbolic representation of the inevitability of death. The term first entered English in Shakespeare’s Henry IV, Part 1 (1598) and was immediately accepted into common usage through visual representation. In contemporary society, the concept of memento mori has taken on different aspects of representation, including digital.
The 2014 Day of Ideas will provide discussion on the ephemeral nature of life. The symposium will finish at 4.30pm, followed by a private viewing of the Allegoria Sacra video installation by the Russian Collective AES+F, a talk by Nick Mitzevich, Art Gallery of South Australia, and the official opening of the Memento Mori exhibition at the Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery.
