The venue for Selective Memory is a newly renovated space - a "scoletta"^* (small school) on Campo San Rocco, in the San Polo district amongst several of Venice´s other must-sees. The name scuola (school) is applied in Venice to a number of confraternities in Venice - brotherhoods that served as community and religious associations. The world renowned owner of the building is the neighbouring Scuola Grande di San Rocco which is an illustrious and lavish host to 50 original paintings by the renaissance master, Tintoretto. A few steps further lies the Gothic church of Santa Maria Glorioso dei Frari.

"Selective Memory" is the first exhibition to be shown in the renovated interior spaces of the scoletta and launched the opening to the public of this new addition to Venice´s cultural venues.

Following the exhibition in Venice, the work will return to be exhibited at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art in Edinburgh in December.
