CLOCKS
How do you notice the passing of time?
CLOCKS is an intergenerational art project and conceptual art exhibition.
CLOCKS is an exhibition featuring artworks and stories created by a wide range of participants from pre-school, primary school, youth and 50+ community groups.
CLOCKS exhibition: Woods Street Arts Space May 7 - June 5
This exhibition started with one simple question to over 300 Hobsons Bay residents: “How do you notice the passing of time?” They told us they noticed the changing of seasons, growing older, growing beards, losing hair, learning new things and having fun. Time sometimes moves slow, sometimes fast and always in the same direction.
CLOCKS Workshop
The clocks exhibition is a living artwork filled with time keepers both digital and natural. Large rings of light move at varying paces - the time it takes to walk to school (one participants experience) or the duration of the exhibition. These digital light time keepers inhabit the space with timekeepers of the natural world, plants! Plants of all types will photosynthesize away as they show how our natural world keeps time.
The gallery itself will become a clock as it records changes in the gallery via a time lapse camera that adds a new image every 3 minutes. Presented on the walls will be the artwork of individual participants and the hundreds of artbooks that have been completed (visitors are welcome to look through each book).
CLOCKS Workshop
Visitors will be able to add to the exhibition by engaging with drawing challenges and filling out their own clocks workbook to add to the gallery wall.
An amalgamation of colour, lights, and reflections will take visitors on a journey through the eyes of local residents, and invite visitors to consider how they notice the passing of time.
Our aim is to promote inter-generational community building through re-connection and re-engagement across the wider community through collaboration, creativity and communication. Showcasing the community’s creativity and stories to celebrate it’s vibrant and unique identity, and diverse community.
Workshop participant groups include, Balit Gulinya Group, Altona Meadows Primary School, Laverton Golden Age Group, Williamstown North Primary, Altona Meadows Primary.
