VISUAL OPINION

THIS CALENDAR BELONGS TO:

EDITOR’S NOTE Memory is a theme very often used by artists. I’d even go so far as to say that, as artists, we’re

VO STAFF EDITOR IN CHIEF Olympe Gautier

lucky enough to put an image or a sentiment on memories that have fallen into oblivion or been erased;

MANAGING EDITOR

perhaps to keep a trace of them,

Angel Ye

or perhaps to understand them better. It’s a re-creation, a re-interpretation.

Remembering is the opposite of forgetting. Remembering is a shared experience that often merges our personal memory with the collective memory. As conceptual artist Christian Boltanksi has said,

DESIGN EDITOR Lela Fand

EDITOR IN CHIEF INTERN Nandinie Andlay

“The beauty of being an artist is that we talk about our own memories, but it becomes everyone’s memory.”

The works presented in this

MANAGING EDITOR INTERN Clarisse Lo

issue are all about memory and tradition. And in keeping with the tradition of Visual Opinion, Issue 2 is once again a calendar. So, use

DESIGN EDITOR INTERN Nicole Hsu

these pages to remember and keep a trace of what you did this year of two thousand and twenty-four.
