In keeping with the transient nature of the space at Supreme Trading, RECLAIM: The Visual Space in Between is a film and video series that encompasses wide-ranging works that depict the areas between and among memory, history, tradition, identity, and spaces of liminality and becoming.

RECLAIM explores visualizations of memory as a representation of personal or collective experiences that interact with and affect the creation or evolution of new identities, concepts, and entities. We believe memory both fosters and limits change, and this series illustrates that duality, showing the many ways we experience, recall, and appropriate memory.

We've selected works that are evocative art forms which mark our time and give it the artistic flair and personality we have come to celebrate. With an emphasis on visual language, these works RECLAIM visual memory, harnessing it literally and conceptually.
