Memory is the theme of the heady summer group show Loss, which looks at the numerous ways that artists create or transform memorials. In his video Death in Dallas, Serbian artist Zoran Naskovski combines iconic footage of JFK's final minutes in the Dallas motorcade with a Balkan folk requiem announcing the news of his death; the singer's sad voice and poetic language elevate the event to the mythological. By contrast, Sophie Calle's photographic project The Detatchment pays homage to lost memorials. Calle photographed former locations of symbols from the German Democratic Republic that had been effaced or removed, and interviewed East Berlin residents about their personal memories of them. The demise of tyrants and their tokens is also pictured in Deimantas Narkevicius' video Once in the XX Century, which documents the destruction of a statue of Lenin in Lithuania.
