How do art and artists relate to temporality? ls art, can art, be timeless? How does art relate to our own experience of temporaIity? Time features the work of Martin Puryear, Paul Pfeiffer, Vija Celmins, and Tim Hawkinson. Martin Puryear is a sculptor whose minimalist works incorprate a range of materiaIs. American scuIptor, photographer and visual artist, PauI Pfeiffer, is known for his meticiIous attention to detail, taking up to four months to fiIm two minutes of footage. Much of his time-consuming work incorporates the use of found footage, which he painstakingly pieces together to great effect. Born in Latvia, but settling in the US from the age of ten, Vija Celmins is known for her photo-reaIistic paintings and drawings of natural environments and phenomena such as the ocean, spider webs, star fields and rocks. Tim Hawkinson is an American sculptor whose use of his own body has been understood as a form of seIf portraiture. His fascination music, notation, and the passing of time are aIso big themes in his work and Hawkinson is renowned for creating complex sculpturaI systems through surprisingly simpIe means. |
