Nonmemory brings together works by Mike Kelley and a group of artists—Kelly Akashi, Meriem Bennani, Beatriz Cortez, Raúl de Nieves, Olivia Erlanger, Lauren Halsey, and Max Hooper Schneider—whose work similarly engages Kelley’s titular concept: the ‘non-memory’ of the various institutional spaces or built environments he encountered in his life. Documenting the eponymous exhibition at Hauser & Wirth Los Angeles in 2023–24, the book also features reproductions of important works by Kelley, his foundational essay, ‘Architectural Non-memory Replaced with Psychic Reality,’ a new text by exhibition curator and editor of the publication Jay Ezra Nayssan, and a series of conversations between each participating artist with contributors: Kathryn Andrews, Myriam Ben Salah, Ruba Katrib, Jova Lynne, Ceci Moss, Mary Clare Stevens and Daniela Lieja Quintanar.
