Marking Time, an international survey of film and video art produced from the
1960s to the present, examines different ways in which artists have depicted
time and its passage. Focused on works that are visually arresting, sometimes
radical, and often humorous, Marking Time aims to be an evocative presentation
of topics ranging from the abstract notions of time as a concept to the
physicality of time as experience. The exhibition explores duration and
the exploits of time as used by earlier video artists as a formal structuring
device, and then relays into later manipulations of time, as digital and
analog efforts expand or compress this passage in cycles or trajectories.
Other works foreground time as a measurement of endurance and the horrors
of waiting, as artists test their personal limits while a viewing audience
bears witness.
Organized in conjunction
with the Getty Research Institute’s 2004–2005 scholar-year
theme, “Duration,” Marking Time also includes a screening
of additional single-channel works at the Getty Center on Thursday,
14 April 2005 at 7:30 pm, which features artists Vito Acconci, David
Askevold, Kelly Dobson, Harry Dodge and Stanya Kahn, Wim Gijzen,
Tom Kalin, Paul Kos, Katarzyna Kozyra, Kimsooja, and Erwin Wurm.
