'Remembering & Forgetting' is an ongoing series of works by Kevin Carter encompassing paintinh, installation and film.

Painting

Each set of paintings features a study of three works by Thomas Moran - 'Chasm of Colorado' (1874),Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone’ (1872) and Mountain of the Holy Cross (1875) - . Each works is overlaid with a schematic detailing research undertaken by the artist into the key elements of the National Missile Defence system currently being developed by the USA.

Each painting is a record of the artists attempts at remembering how to paint, starting at 'Attempt #1' . At the same time the work is a visual reminder of his research into the NMD, as a means to not forgetting this data.

Film.

In a similar manner to the paintings the film acts as a flawed aide de memoire, as an animated schematic builds the overwhelming weight of the data reduces its effectiveness as a document containing meaning, the resulting film then breaks down into an animated series of unconnected information moments.
