“记忆宫殿”（Memory Palace）是Pitzhanger画廊展出的一项新作，它为人们呈现了一种宏大的、按照时间顺序发生的景观，映射了人类七万五千多年以来的一系列重要转变。

Memory Palace is a new commission by Pitzhanger which fills the gallery space with a vast chronological landscape mapping pivotal shifts in human perspective over seventy five millennia.

从智人在非洲南部洞穴里留下的第一道印记，到1543年哥白尼绘制第一张日心宇宙图的弗龙堡；从1792年玛丽·沃斯通克拉夫特写下《为女权辩护》的Clarendon广场上的房间，到1955年罗莎·帕克斯拒绝让出公交座位的蒙哥马利的街道，再到2018年瑞典女孩格雷塔·图恩伯格为气候变化发起罢工运动的位于斯德哥尔摩Riksdaghuset的台阶……这些地点和时刻体现着一种个人化的、主观的制图方法，它们由艺术家Es Devlin和她的工作室团队共同挑选出来，以唤起我们对集体和历史的记忆，同时引发对话与辩论。

From the caves in Southern Africa where homo sapiens first left their mark, to the tower in Frombork, Poland, where Nicolaus Copernicus drew the first heliocentric map of the universe in 1543, to the rooms in Clarendon Square, where Mary Wollstonecroft wrote A Vindication of the Rights of Women in 1792, to the street in Montgomery, Alabama where Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on the segregated bus in 1955, to the steps of the Riksdaghuset in Stockholm where Greta Thunberg began her School Strike for Climate in 2018, the locations and moments represent a personal and subjective cartography and have been chosen by Devlin and her studio team to invoke our collective memories/history, and also to provoke dialogue and debate.

“记忆宫殿”的名称来源于古希腊的经典记忆法（mnemonic technique），它将记忆按照相似的地点进行分类。艺术家Devlin将这些人类思维发生重大变化时的地点绘制在易于辨认的城市和建筑片段中，从而创造出一个关于思想变革的个人地图集。整个展览可以看成是一整块雕塑作品，其宽度为18米，由竹子雕刻而成，并通过镜面的设置来使房间的大小在视觉上成倍增长，引发观者对于时间和空间的重新想象。参观者可独自或者以小组的形式进入展厅。

Memory Palace is named after the classical mnemonic technique, originating in Ancient Greece, which catalogues memories within familiar locations. Devlin identifies the rooms in which significant shifts in human thinking took place and plots them within identifiable fragments of cities and buildings to create a personal atlas of the evolution of thought. The 18-metre-wide sculptural work, carved from bamboo, features mirrored planes that multiply its dimensions to enable a reimagining of time and space. The public will enter individually or in small groups.

本次展览是Devlin在Pitzhanger画廊的第二次展览，她构建的地域模型与John Soane爵士在建筑实践与古典收藏中对模型的大量使用彼此形成了呼应。与此同时，Devlin还将Pitzhanger画廊内的图书馆空间转变为了一间配套的阅览室，用以提供与其展览内容相关的书籍和信息。

In this second exhibition at Pitzhanger, Sir John Soane’s country home, Devlin’s topographical modelling echoes Soane’s prolific use of models within his architectural practice and classical collections and she has transformed Soane’s library space at Pitzhanger into a reading room filled with the books that informed the work.
