A year of exhibitions, concerts, performances, and lectures to mark the tenth anniversary of September 11, 2001
How do the arts shape our collective memory of the past? How does art decipher loss and inform our experience of global events? This collaborative investigation into the relationship between the arts and cultural memory is organized by arts and cultural institutions at Princeton University and in the Princeton community throughout 2011.

The Life and Death of Buildings, opening this weekend, considers buildings, photographs, and the ways they embody time and perpetuate memory. The camera reveals historical continuity in the long-term flux of built environments: their birth, evolution, decline, excavation, re-use, and re-invention. The exhibition is a cornerstone event in a yearlong collaborative exploration, MEMORY AND THE WORK OF ART, organized by arts and cultural organizations at Princeton University and in the Princeton community.

How do you map time? Is history linear? The exhibition Cartographies of Time will explore graphic representations of European and American history, and the evolution of the modern timeline, through a selection of 27 rarely seen books, manuscripts, charts and other ingenious devices, drawn primarily from the Department of Rare Books and Special Collections of the Princeton University Library.
