An exhibition on how we experience time—personal, social, political, everyday, generational or historical. ArtWorks may dwell in the overall or the nearby, the microcosm or the immeasurable. The abstract mood of time, the urgency of process, a specific moment, a place, a trace, or any other way you imagine sharing time. All media welcome.
