UMA Gallery is proud to announce ReTech's latest evolution, MEMORY CORRUPT, which tells the tale of a boy riddled with nightmares who is projected into a future world where technology rules. Utilizing over 150 years of technology, MEMORY CORRUPT opens June 1st and runs through August 3rd. We are excited to be curating at Art Thou in Union Square, San Francisco.“As a child I was a vivid dreamer that began to have nightmares at age 2. By age 4 they began to tell a story of me living in a future over 100 years away… From the discarded past and dreams of the future I started to create objects so I could have a tangible hold on that world that only I knew.
I will take apart an old machine, impressed with, not only the parts, but the design, the how, and the why. In that machine there will be a single piece that just clicks into place as part of one of my objects. Instantly all the other bits I need will float around in my head. From that point that object intrusively clouds my mind. It needs to be here, in the real world, a tactile thing.” ReTech
ReTech's background as an artist is rooted in his early years. At the age of 7, he created his first sci-fi playset using clay, wire bits, old tools, and broken radio pieces. Throughout his artistic journey, he has explored various mediums including theater, writing and graphic arts. His true passion lies in sculpture as he continuously returns to this form of artistic expression.
ReTech’s recent solo show Remeberwise Forwardthought took place in November 2023 at UMA Gallery Oakland.
