Hypermnesia II: Martina Grlić

Fragment is pleased to present the first US solo exhibition of Croatian painter Martina Grlić, Hypermnesia II. Borrowing its title from a psychological condition marked by abnormally vivid memories and the lucid retention of a large number of seemingly insignificant details, often the result of trauma, Grlić's Hypermnesia II uses fragmentary imagery to deconstruct the politics of memory and the contested space of reminiscence in post-socialist society. In an evocation of surrealist strategies, the artist, in her own words, "uses an aesthetic language that moves between reality and dreams… materializing memories by transferring them into the field of the real".
