As part of ASC’s 30th Anniversary celebrations, The Flux of Memory marks the second curatorial exhibition in the series. Curated by Jumpei Kinoshita, a resident artist at our Thurlow Street building, and Vaishali Prazmari, a multidisciplinary artist whose work blends influences from Indo-Persian miniatures and Chinese painting, the exhibition explores themes of memory and cultural convergence.

Memory is fluid—shifting, elusive, and ever-changing. The Flux of Memory brings together seven artists exploring the instability of recollection, scenes half-remembered and moments lost in time through diverse perspectives.

Gianinna Delpino‘s work captures the fleeting nature of time, balancing the nearness and distance of memory, place, and possibility, who also has a studio at ASC Thurlow Street. Shiba Hideatsu explores humanity’s relationship with nature, questioning how we perceive, use, and find meaning in its enduring mystery. Jumpei Kinoshita’s work invites viewers to reflect on the enduring bonds with loved ones and dogs, evoking nostalgia and warmth while celebrating love and the unspoken connections of canine companions. Raksha Patel’s paintings weave together fragmented migrant memories, decayed industrial landscapes, forgotten lace and peacock calls. She uses archival photographs to question ideas of value within an arena of cultural duality. Raúl Pina Perez blends vibrant symbolism and philosophy into visual poems, transforming shifting recollections into layered, totemic forms. Vaishali Prazmari resurrects the lost heyday of the obsolete Chinese typewriter, using brass rubbings of its keys to preserve a machine that briefly thrived before vanishing. Twins Stifani’s film, shot on a wind-up Super8 camera across multiple countries, captures ephemeral moments that echo across time and space. Set to Takeharu Ishimoto’s Crisis Core – Final Fantasy VII soundtrack, it invites contemplation on the beauty of remembrance.

Together, these artists navigate the instability of memory—revealing how it shifts, dissolves, and reassembles into something new.
