TIME

Tue, November 10, 2020 – Sun, November 15, 2020

"Time is / Too Slow for those who Wait, / To Swift for those who Fear, / Too Long for those who grieve, / Too Short for those who Rejoice, / But for those who Love, / Time is not."

Henry Van Dyke

Time, as a construct, is tightly woven into our lives. Without time, nothing would exist in our world as we know it. "Time is everything", "If only I had a little bit more time", "It's important to be somewhere at the right time", "Time is running fast". Time is either our best friend or our worst enemy. And yet, despite contemporary society’s apparent obsession with it, the most important things in life transcend time: love, beauty, happiness – tropes that have long been interrogated through all art forms. Each artist in this group investigates aspects of temporality as an important part of their practice.
