About the exhibition:
An iteration of Spartanburg Art Museum's Art2 series, Interlace: Time/Body was a series of performative works I conceived in response to the exhibition "Another Body." Four vignettes were designed and installed in the museum, including a bedroom, a bathroom, a waiting room, and a grassy "outdoor" area. Initiated by the sound of an alarm clock in the bedroom at 15 minute intervals, four actors gradually cycled through these vignettes over the course of the evening.
Each work was a distinct exploration of how one's bodily experience and/or daily routines may disrupt and befuddle the felt passage of time. Though time and the physical body are often thought of, logically, as separate entities (the 4th and 3rd dimension with the 4th in the driver's seat), the exhibition sought to playfully refute this notion by illustrating a coalescence of the two that allows the physical to control how the temporal is felt, perhaps more often than not, in day-to-day life.
