Mitchell Art Museum at St. John’s College, Annapolis, Maryland, USA.
In the 1960s, happenings, minimalism, and performance art contributed to introducing the concept of time into contemporary art. However, it was not until artists began to experiment with technology, utilising instruments such as computers, Kodak Super 8 cameras, and Sony Portapak video cameras, that time became engraved as a novel dimension in visual art, replacing inches on museum labels. This exhibition brings together groundbreaking artwork by seven artists who explored the malleable, symbolic, affective, and societal dimensions of this perpetually elusive subject, whilst investigating the evolving viewer expectations of new art.
