Dashiell Manley Artist Talk

Listen to Dashiell Manley in conversation with Mika Yoshitake to discuss the thinking, process, and personal significance behind “Tule Lake,” his most recent solo show with Jessica Silverman.

“Conceptually, I wanted it to speak to memory, history and story. The way those things are manipulated or changed over time and the way memory gets scratchy, foggy, obscured.“ — Dashiell Manley

Manley was joined in conversation with LA-based independent curator Mika Yoshitake at the opening reception of his most recent solo show with Jessica Silverman, “Tule Lake.”

The conversation ranged from Manley’s interest in memory and film to time and iconography. Using imagery sourced from the National Archives’ repository of photographs, Manley reflects upon the site of Tule Lake, an internment camp on the California-Oregon border where members of his family were held.
