Time Well Spent: Art and Temporality

July 26 - December 23, 2016 - This exhibition explores diverse characterizations of time as a natural and unstoppable phenomenon; a mechanized, measurable concept to be tracked, saved, and encapsulated; and a malleable and sometimes mystical force that determines the very architecture of our cosmos and collective memory. From memento mori (reminders of death), cycles of seasons, and depictions of times of day, to historical commemorations and geological and astronomical conceptions of chronology, artistic representations of time address personal memory and experience as well as expansive conceptions of boundless time and space.
