Think about the physical aspects of opening them: the act of lifting or grabbing the handle, the amount of force needed to pull it, the feeling of sliding the drawer open. What might be inside each of these drawers? This work, entitled Chest of Drawers, “You Can’t Lay Down Your Memories,” edition number 45, was designed by the Dutch artist Tejo Remy and made by Droog Design. As large as a bicycle and composed of drawers taken from existing pieces of furniture, this work engages in themes of memory and recollection. What might the relationship be between the phrase in the title and the artwork itself? What does the size of this work suggest about memory? Does the use of drawers suggest easy access to memories or does it control access to them? Check out this week's #HowtoLook lesson (linked in bio) and share your reflections on the role of memory in art in the comments below.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Tejo Remy (Dutch, born 1960).
