Keeping Time

Kala Gallery is proud to present Keeping Time, the second in our two-part 2012 exhibition series that explores cycles of time. This group exhibition explores various modes of marking, tracking, measuring and keeping of time with drawings, photographs, textiles, sculptures and videos. Keeping Time brings together invited artists from the Bay Area in addition to a number of artists selected through Kala’s nationwide submission review process. Several conceptual themes and processes are shared by a number of the artists in the exhibition including: repetitive actions involving the body; physical accumulation and deterioration; photographic time exposures that capture the duration of an event; and sequential recordings of occurrences ranging from the domestically mundane to expansive landscapes, dramatic movement of clouds and water and the subtle shifting of light.
