FORGE is a powerful durational installation with live metal-working exploring who memorials are for and what happens to places where traumatic events take place.
In 2014 the 100kg iron 'welcome' gate was stolen from Dachau concentration camp. A local blacksmith forged a replica. It was exactly like the original. Almost.
Over three days artist Rachel Mars invites you to bear witness as she welds together another copy of the gate accompanied by sound artist Dinah Mullen who creates a live sound-scape in conversation with the action.
This impactful performance installation asks questions about memorials and provides a space to think about who is controlling narratives of past atrocities. An act of repetition and repair, FORGE asks what it is to preserve a site of collective trauma.
