Since 1986, Éditions Mémoire des Arts—founded by Alain Vollerin in collaboration with Paule Martigny—has dedicated itself to creating an archive (a "memory") of the visual arts, as well as educational resources (books, videos, DVDs, and a magazine) for teachers, students, collectors, and art enthusiasts.

The Foam of the Nights

Galerie Mémoire des Arts

Through an arrangement of 131 skimming tongs flanked by a cutout portrait, Auguste evokes the fleeting encounters that punctuate a life, the selection of human connections—who we hold onto and in whose memories we remain etched—and the difficulty of capturing a sharp image of the past.
