T玫nis Saadoja: Present Continuous
T玫nis Saadoja鈥檚 previous exhibitions have focused on the mediation and compression of memory and light perception: how to concentrate, through multiple filters, the lights within our memory.
The artist鈥檚 latest exhibition, 鈥楾he Enduring Present鈥�, continues in a way to examine the themes of light and time, but also executes an experimental about-face. This series is painted en plein air, meaning outdoors, in the open air, with the completion of each work being limited by the changeability of natural light within a two-hour period. As such, these paintings explore how long a moment lasts and what a single lasting moment can equate to on the canvas. In a certain sense, they are a documenting of the work of a performative artist, but in another 鈥� and more important 鈥� sense, they are a meditation on what the present means and how long it lasts; in other words, when the present is done.
