Opening: and you run to catch up with the sun

And you run to catch up with the sun is conceived as a temporary interweaving of voices and materials, transformed into a collective reflection on temporality. The artists share an interest in processes of perception, time and movement, whilst their aesthetic strategies reflect different forms of condensation, presence and dissolution.

Some artists in the group conceive of time as materiality – as something tangible that acquires a physical texture through archiving. Others, in turn, explore societal rhythms and the restlessness of modernity. The motif of the setting sun stands here for the impossible: the failure to capture the light transforms into a poetic stance of resistance against perpetual acceleration.

The exhibition venue – a disused underground car park – functions as a spatial metaphor. The ‘non-place’ of transit is transformed into a place for contemplating the stratification of time.

The exhibition is curated by Sharleena Rosing.
