How to enter an institution? In this case, in these times and with the year ahead of us, with deliberate slowness: to inhabit the space lightly and to feel the quality of time of these public spaces on the sixth floor of M HKA.




How has our experience of time been affected by the pandemic? Katja Mater’s series of 79 clocks could speak to this. The clock faces becoming two bodies revolving around each other might also ask us what we what we can do and want to do, within and towards time. How can our bodies become agents in the weird-ing of time within the institute?

Three small series of the clockalikes selected by association and affection:
- heart, brain and body (Time is an Arrow, Error 71, 43, 12)
- the time of work and its slippages (Time is an Arrow, Error 7, 33)
- free time: the warmth of sun, reading a book, a gathering in the grass (Time is an Arrow, Error 39, 60, 30)

Thanks to Wendelien van Oldenborgh, who shared her design for the mobile screen. The screen model was developed for Lecture/Audience/Camera, a 30-minute film that was produced in a public process via a series of three lectures, in these same spaces at M HKA in 2008.
