Time Sensitive Installations
exhibit August 6 – 28, 2009
Time Sensitive Installations, at Gallery4Culture consists of 6 wall-mounted sculptures that offer viewers the opportunity to challenge their preconceptions of time. Seattle artist Kirk Lang’s studio practice revolves around the relationship between measured and perceived time. Although inextricably linked, measured and perceived time exist in two separate worlds, the external and the internal. Internal perceptions of time are subjective and can differ dramatically from factual, measured time. Lang’s mixed media constructions search for truth and meaning in the dichotomy that exists between the two; this inquiry is central to his work.
This exhibition was made possible in part through an Individual Artist Projects award from 4Culture.
A reception will be held on August 6, 2009, the first Thursday of the month, during the Downtown Artwalk, from 6:00 – 8:00 pm. The public is encouraged to attend.
