Ignacio Uriarte
60 Sekunden
3. Juli – 23. Juli 2010
Lichthaus Arnsberg presents the installation "60 seconds" by Spanish artist Ignacio Uriarte.
Like a minute itself, Uriarte's work cannot be seen at first glance: It is discreetly installed on the grey floor of the Lichthaus. The sculpture consists of 60 black wristwatches linked together in a circle. The clocks are set to real time, but are each one second fast. Every full hour, a beep goes round the circle, jumping from one watch to the next.
The circle closes in one minute and offers the possibility of entering and experiencing this minute. As the clocks run with a one-second distortion, you could follow a selected second or step into the future. You could also quietly watch time slip away. Uriarte once again manages to challenge our perception of time. His circle forms a world of its own and shows us the natural cycle of time, which we tend to experience in a linear fashion.
In the timeless context of Wedinghausen Monastery and with a view of the stars from the Light House, the installation "60 Seconds" is a special event. The finissage of the exhibition will take place on Friday, 23 July 2010 at 20:30. The artist will be present.
Afterwards, his exhibition "On Paper" can be seen at the Kunstverein Arnsberg: 23 July - 12 September 2010. Ignacio Uriarte is a lecturer in the art summer: 27-29 August 2010. course no.: 1003
