Abstract
Art affects us in ineffable ways, and a large part of it is its ability to retrieve and manipulate memory, or put simply, memory practices. Artists work with memory: whether it be personal memory, shared memories, or common memories. There are many different frameworks to discuss and analyze such art. This paper will use the theatre archaeology framework to discuss and uncover the techniques used by three separate artists: Sarah Sze, Lynn Hershman Leeson, and Ragnar Kjartansson. Through analyzing three of each of the artists’ principal works, theatre archaeology provides an answer to the factors of an effective and compelling piece of art.
