until 27.08. | #2091ARTatBerlin | me Collectors Room Berlin shows from 8th July 2018 the exhibition “THE LONG NOW – Reflections on time and transcience” in the lounge area of the me Collectors Room with 20 contemporary artistic positions, with which a variety of approaches towards time come into effect, either regarding our concept of time or the perception and visualisation of time.
Time proves itself as a noticeably open and undefined variable, which for instance is perceived completely different when experienced subjectively or measured with a timepiece instead. Polarities such as steadiness and unsteadiness, acceleration and deceleration as well as immediacy, duration and transience are crucial categories.
Time is a concept which concerns us in both a definite and elementary way. Without the concept of time our existence as well as the events occurring in the world around us wouldn´t be conceivable. Yet at the same time, time is perceived as an abstract and elusive phenomenon with which scientists, thinkers and artists have ever since occupied themselves. Against the backdrop of an accelerating modern age and a global simultaneity which is passed on by the media, questions regarding time seem ever more pressing. What signifies time to us? What does the present mean? How long lasts the now?
THE LONG NOW runs parallel as an exhibition project in two parts in the Museum Goch and the Kunstverein Bochum from 25 March – 17 June 2018.
Curated by Reinhard Buskies.
