From the museum: Memory is a Verb: Exploring Time and Transience is a new group exhibition to be showcased at the Oceanside Museum of Art reflecting on memory, nostalgia, time, and human identity through the lens of eleven female photographers. The exhibition is deeply rooted in the profound disruption caused by the pandemic –a period that forced artists from different backgrounds and regions across the country to search within themselves as they embarked on a humbling human journey beautifully captured in photography, video, and interactive installations. The resulting exhibition will allow visitors to engage in the creative process not only through sight but through sound as well. Ultimately, the project’s goal is to reflect on how memories are formed, whether they exist as fixed reflections of reality or are subject to transformation over time. The featured artworks suggest that even concepts as universal as memory may change, shift, and re-define themselves as time goes by, and this often happens in provoking, powerful, and unimaginable ways. Unsurprisingly, the past has its own unique way of infiltrating the present moment and forces all of us to re-examine the nature of our memories. Each art piece featured in this exhibition embarks on its own quest to recall the past–be it through an exploration of gender, discrimination, identity, diversity, patriarchy, violence, love, loss, death, family, or environmental issues– in order to deliver a timeline of events that viewers can reflect on. But the idea that memory exists in the present moment is something that can also be applied to all the artworks presented. As a cohesive collection of works, the exhibition grounds memory as a vital concept in our fast-moving world." –Curator Marisa Caichiolo Participating artists: Elizabeth Bailey, Annette LeMay Burke, Dena Eber, Sarah Hadley, Diane Hemingway, Susan Lapides, Annie Omens, Lori Ordover, Jennifer Pritchard, Rosalie Rosenthal, and Aline Smithson Related links: OMA on Instagram OMA on Facebook Exhibition information Memory is a Verb project website

About Aimee Jacobs While many classes beneath the arts umbrella caught the mind of Aimee Jacobs, it was melody and song that held her heart. At seven years old, Aimee felt compelled to become a singer, and explained this to her parents. When told it would take hard work, she replied, “I know.” She patiently learned piano for the next five years until she reached a mature enough age to start voice lessons. At age twelve, Aimee was able to begin voice lessons — although she barely got any notes out during the first two sessions. She sensed something inherently vulnerable about the craft, knowing that nobody can really hide how they’re feeling when singing for an audience. Aimee embraced the challenge, and embraced herself as a vessel of expression. In alignment with purpose, she began her journey towards meaning, integrity, and connection with something larger than herself. By 2014, not only did Aimee remain diligent with her lessons, she majored in Opera Performance — studying both classical voice as well as classical piano. She also toured with Burning of Rome, playing music on the stage with acts such as Bad Religion, Offspring, Cage the Elephant, The Psychedelic Furs, The Dirty Heads, and Moving Units. Juggling so many responsibilities all at once, Aimee discovered that apart from performance itself, the community surrounding music was fire to her soul. Over the course of shows — and years of teaching students both piano and voice — Aimee continually validated a revelation that music is the history of feelings. She believes that not even words can achieve the same level of communication or impact. To this end, she found much fulfillment in coaching and teaching. What greater gift can be given to a person than a way of channeling their spirit and expressing parts of themselves for which they have no words? For her own endeavors of expression, Aimee recorded her first album of folk pop songs by the age of sixteen. She graduated high school early and dove right into collaborating with Burning of Rome. She continued creating her own music while majoring in Opera Performance. While recording original works at San Diego’s Singing Serpent, she found herself becoming a musician for hire. As community took further shape, she found herself forming a new project with skilled collaborators: Belladon. An idea soon evolved into a notable band. Be it students, fellow musicians, or an audience, Aimee aspires to ensure people feel warm and welcome. Where there are no words that can be said, music can take the lead. Where there are too many feelings to comprehend, music is a place to land. And where the horizon is darkest, music can see far beyond it. Where her craft has continuously provided a path of self improvement, she invites others to challenge themselves in it as well — and to discover their own creations.
