Is it possible to make anything new? Even if you’re an artist who works in appropriation? In this audio interview, DHC-ART Foundation curator John Zeppetelli tackles these questions and others raised by the foundation’s current exhibition, “Re-Enactments,” which continues to May 25 in Montreal. During this exchange with Canadian Art writer Christina Bagatavicius, Zeppetelli describes how the show’s works, which draw on popular film and television as an archival source, point to issues around collective memory.
