The director Joaquim Pinto has been living with HIV and VHC for nearly two decades. This video journal chronicles one year of his participation in experimental clinical studies, during which he undergoes treatments with toxic, mind- altering pharmaceutical drugs. Pinto’s reflections on memory, epidemic, and globalization are articulated in contrast to the film’s setting of a remote, rural home that the filmmaker shares with his partner. What Now? Remind Me is a tribute to love, dissent and friendships both past and present.
Each memory tells an intimate story; each collection presents us with the reality of containing an intimate story as well. The collection is akin to a whole in which many memories and stories of the artist, the viewer, and the collector are brought together. At the heart of a collection is memory, nurtured from the past and projecting into the future.
If Manolo Valdés’s paintings convey a search for materiality, his sculpture does so even more. Today, sculpture has taken over most of his workspace, his time, and his efforts.
