TIMEKEEPERS brings together a diverse group of contemporary artists exploring the meaning of time and the notions of measuring, stopping, keeping and warping time. It lays bare and delves deeply into concepts that are taken for granted on a day to day basis and asks questions that are rarely asked. Timekeepers will examine the ways that the past is recorded in both material and immaterial ways, as in Judy Gelles’s serial portraits for her family or Dennis Begg’s installation of found images re-presented. Other work considers time’s warp and woof, playing in the intersection of past, present and future, sometimes looping them together as Jim Campbell’s video installation Signature does. How time is measured is also a concern of these artists, and work like Bruce Cannon’s Reflection, measures it in the changing image of one’s own face by archiving daily video snapshots as the years pass–a record few of us would like to live with. Other artists included are: Kathryn Dunlevie, Michael Henderson, Barrett Langlinais, Tongsue Ly, and Cheryl Sue Owen. A "timely" exhibition for the new millennium and its preoccupation with time’s progression, TIMEKEEPERS offers a new twist on that which we take for granted. With our culture moving ever faster, our experience of time is revealing itself as infinitely malleable. Gallery Admission is F R E E Gallery Talks are available for classes and community groups.
