Mirrored in Time

Foresight, the ability to recognize that events happen on a timeline, enabled us to dominate other species as predators. Yet, we are not well equipped to tell geological time – our foresight has not extended to appreciate distant origins or long-term futures. And, as we gradually ceased to fear our surroundings, we seem to have lost appreciation of the present moment. Spatial sound – the practice of attentive listening in an acoustical space – can center us in the present and help us look more attentively as well. The featured artists use deep time as a medium in their practices. This exhibition is a space for contemplative listening and looking, a mirror to our inner world, as individuals and as a species.
