It's About Time
Brand Library & Art Center is pleased to present 鈥淚t鈥檚 About Time,鈥� an art exhibition that attempts to make the complex subject of time more coherent through a multidisciplinary, tactile, and visceral study of materiality, process, and technique. The exhibition, co-curated by April Greiman and Stacie B. London, features 17 Los Angeles artists including Jamison Carter, Carolyn Casta帽o, Joe Davidson, Tibbie Dunbar, April Greiman, Ravi GuneWardena, Dennis Keeley, Mary Little, Stacie B. London, Maria Moyer, Sandeep Mukherjee, Jennifer Remenchik, Michael Rotondi, Shizu Saldamando, Adam Silverman, Pamela Smith Hudson, and John Ziqiang Wu. Utilizing their authentic and unique relationships with cement, clay, fabric, flora, graphite, ink, wood, paint, paper, photography, resin, video, and wax, amongst others, the artists explore the metaphors of time鈥檚 arrow (sequential events or narrative) and time鈥檚 cycle (repetition or patterns and seasons). A subject often explored by scientists and artists, including philosopher of science Stephen Jay Gould who writes in his book The Flamingo鈥檚 Smile: Reflections in Natural History (1985):
鈥淭he human mind delights in finding pattern鈥攕o much so that we often mistake coincidence or forced analogy for profound meaning. No other habit of thought lies so deeply within the soul of a small creature trying to make sense of a complex world not constructed for it.鈥�
By delving into human鈥檚 short history within the enormity of all time, these 17 artists meet the challenge of representing the intangible threads of space and time through their diverse artistic expressions. Innovation and experimentation of thought, process and materials, results in artworks that pierce traditional boundaries and successfully make philosophical concepts physical. The exhibit invites the viewer to engage in dialogues that will challenge the idea of where the artwork is experienced; in the public space of the gallery, or in the private space of the mind, thus allowing for both a personal and shared perspective.
