Show I: Concepts of Time

The whole journey began when we decided to explore "Concepts of Time".  Is it a cone? Is it an artificial construct?  Is it used to control?  We struck out with fear.  Our artists consulted German philosophers, science textbooks, a real live physicist, astronomy magazines, old people, children, and mystics of all religions (not all really, but many).
The result was a gauzy show, one without conclusions, but presenting many questions.  Vito Acconci was consigned (via video) to the back corner where he pointed at the guests until most of them didn't care to look anymore.  Confederate soldiers were transported back and forth in time, wearing Shakespearean garb at one moment and basically a banana at another; their stately profiles fixed.  No music played from two turntables featuring cloth records.  Nebulae sat suspended, caught in a canvas and prevented from flinging out their stars.  Also there were cones aplenty cause honestly the cone idea makes a lot of sense. 

This show was held on the First Thursday in September 2012, and featured art by Sarah Bethea, Sarah Goddard, Jeanne Biega, and Loretta Goddard.
