Overview
Opening the show as the first temporary exhibition for the newly-refurbished MCA is an exhibition whose focus settles on the passing moments. Marking Time has assembled eleven artists from Australia and beyond whose work focuses on the ticking of the clock. In Daniel Crooks' Static No. 12 time gets stretched like a physical thing, from one side of the screen to the other. Its two moving images, of a man practising Tai Chi, see his movements ripple from past to future. Elisa Sighicelli's Untitled (The Party is Over) sucks fireworks back to the instant of their explosion and Lindy Lee's Conflagrations from the End of Time suspends burnt scrolls along the wall, their marks like little stars. As well as the art itself, the Museum is running a program of talks, screening Christian Marclay's epic the Clock and running Celestial Radio's entry in the Local Positioning Systems selection of performance art.
