After Theseus slayed the Minotaur, escaped the Labyrinth, and sailed home with the rescued youth of Athens, the Athenians preserved his ship. Each year the Athenians would parade the ship around their lands and reconstitute and replace its timbers for the next year. But is a ship with all its planks replaced still the same ship? And is a man with all his thoughts and memories unnaturally replaced still the same man? Drawing on a familial history with memory diseases, Nick Schumacher’s practice explores tensions between remembering and forgetting, the real and the facsimile, and rejuvenation and degradation. His work, constructed from found and antique furniture, plaster, bronze, and other materials, fragments memory and emotion by abstracting the common and nostalgic.
