Award-winning University of Toronto Professor Steve Joordens speaks to the themes of memory, recollection and nostalgia found in the Doris McCarthy Gallery exhibition 'Melanie Rocan: Souvenir involontaire' (November 7, 2012 - January 26, 2013).
A cognitive psychologist whose primary research interests focus on the interaction between conscious and unconscious memory processes, Joordens' talk highlights the role that certain retrieval cues can play in terms of "involuntarily" resurrecting past memories, whether we like them or not!
Exhibition curated by Ann MacDonald and organized in partnership with the Kenderdine Art Gallery and Plug In ICA. Supported by the Toronto Arts Council, Manulife Financial and the Canada Council for the Arts.
