Lehmann Maupin Gallery is pleased to present Partial Recall, a group exhibition investigating different aspects of memory. Included in the exhibition are works by Kutlug Ataman, Christian Curiel, Emma Kay, Mike Kelley, Dash Snow, Juergen Teller, Jeffrey Vallance, and Michael Vasquez. This exhibition will examine how memory affects one's identity and question the truth in memory, as well as recall personal memories of the artists and their subjects.

Cinderella and the Virgin by Kutlug Ataman is a continuation of Kuba, a large-scale work, which debuted at the Carnegie International and won the prestigious Carnegie Award. Istanbul is a modern and ever-changing city. However, history is a weight and through the collective memories of one community, Kuba has remained one of Istanbul’s most notorious ghettos and has defined the identities of its residents. Kutlug Ataman presents a captivating look at how collective memories from one community have defined their identity. Christian Curiel’s paintings depict seemingly everyday events, yet upon closer examination, abnormal elements begin to emerge. By representing the confusion and fragility of childhood, Curiel explores his interest in the effect that memories have on the construction of identity.
