INTERMISSION<br />
<strong>Limited</strong> <strong>Edition</strong> <strong>collection</strong><br />
In his new <strong>collection</strong> of<br />
Signed <strong>Limited</strong> <strong>Edition</strong>s, <strong>Rick</strong><br />
<strong>Garland</strong> ‘curates’ his own<br />
memories, employing the<br />
motif of the museum display.<br />
Museums began in the homes<br />
of collectors who created their<br />
own groupings of objects,<br />
with the mundane often<br />
sitting alongside the bizarre.<br />
In <strong>Garland</strong>’s new editions,<br />
glass bell jars encase the<br />
artist’s memories, whether<br />
uplifting or traumatic.<br />
The memories of an<br />
individual may seem random<br />
to anybody else, but they<br />
have a logic within one<br />
particular life.<br />
<strong>Garland</strong>’s antique containers<br />
preserve memories as though<br />
they are creatures treated by a<br />
taxidermist.<br />
However, they also neutralise<br />
those memories, enabling<br />
them to be observed and<br />
analysed from a safe distance.<br />
They have literally become<br />
‘museum pieces’, kept safe<br />
and, in some ways, made safe.<br />
But memory can distort the<br />
past over time. Just as a<br />
museum curator cannot create<br />
an exhibition without<br />
imposing their own ideas<br />
upon the past, so a <strong>collection</strong><br />
of memories is inevitably<br />
coloured by the individual’s<br />
subsequent experiences.<br />
<strong>Garland</strong>’s editions raise many<br />
questions. Why have certain<br />
events or objects been brought<br />
together? Can memories ever<br />
be isolated in this way, or are<br />
we always in a continuing<br />
dynamic relationship with<br />
them, constantly taking them<br />
out of their cases and<br />
reordering them?
Pine Fresh –<br />

“A wet Devon camping trip with my Brother:<br />
A drinking and pool competition with some Marines… In a<br />
flooded field trying to get warm and dry in our old Nissan<br />
Micra… The smell of pine fresh from cleaning the camping<br />
gear in a car park after a drunken night… And being faced<br />
with an unhinged local dressed as a cowboy, who drew his<br />
guns on us at High Noon as we waited in the laundrette for<br />
the sleeping bags to wash...
