What Time Is This Place?
Durational Performance by DeepTime Collective (Amanda Leigh Evans + Tia Kramer)
11:07am-4:03pm
Join DeepTime Collective in an attempt to tell time without a watch. During this durational performance, the artists will look to the rhythms of the city, the UDistrict bus routes, the changing of the gallery guards, and other daily rituals to determine the approximate time of day. Visitors are invited to cover their own timekeepers (phones and watches) and join the artists in using alternative tools to measure time’s passage.
