Without this synchronization, everyone would have missed their train. But with this technological advancement came disadvantages and dismay. In Faster, James Gleick writes, It brought serious aftershocks - time zones, dividing neighbors along the boundaries, and daylight saving time, dividing city dwellers from farmers. Artificial, constructed, industrial-age time gave people a sense of its presumed opposite, natural time, a flow unbroken by machines, punctuated only by the swings or cycles of nature, and thus gentler in its effect on our true selves. This exhibition presents the work of ten artists who explore the meaning of time by calling into question its very definition.
Time is defined by human experience.
It is in you, my mind, that I measure time. As things pass by, they leave an impression on you. It is this impression which I measure. Therefore this itself is time or else I do not measure time at all. Dennis Begg, Judy Gelles, Cheryl Owens, and Lucy Puls explore nostalgic moments, both personal and borrowed.
