I Remember Project: Commissioned artwork by Elizabeth Stone
The final artwork will be installed at the museum on November 5, 2024.
In celebration of the museum’s 60th anniversary, the YAM is pleased to work with Montana artist Elizabeth Stone on a commissioned artwork that honors the region’s public and personal histories.
Throughout 2024, Elizabeth Stone worked with the Billings community on the I Remember Project, a participatory multi-generational community engagement project that results in public artwork(s). The project, inspired by Joe Brainard’s book I Remember, was conceived during the imposed isolation on the pandemic in 2020 and created during an artist-in-residency at Cassilhaus in Chapel Hill in October of 2021.
The I Remember project will incorporate photographic negatives and slides collected from community members in Billings and surrounding areas. Each donation depicts individual and family histories. Collectively, the artwork functions as a record of the area’s identity.
