Material Memory

Hans Neleman, a leading figure in contemporary art, is one of the artists featured in ‘Material Memory’, a collective exhibition inaugurated on May 15, 2026, at Hollis Taggart Downtown. This exhibition curiously explores the notion of memory as a physical and tangible process, far from the idea of a frozen memory. Seven artists – Megan Baker, Edward Holland, Ashanté Kindle, Kelly Wang, Cordy Ryman, and Michael Wolf – illustrate it with recent and previously unseen works. Hollis Taggart, a renowned gallery committed to research and presenting unknown artists, thus offers a fascinating dive into how art can question our relationship with the past. The exhibition, celebrating the gallery’s first anniversary, is accessible from May 15 to June 20. It fits into Hollis Taggart’s long tradition of valuing artists often overlooked, thus enriching the American art landscape.
