LAST CHANCE Time That Grows Slowly

A group exhibition based around site-specific installations and considering ecological, feminist, philosophical, and postcolonial concerns. The core inspiration however is “philosophical reflections of time as growth rather than movement … Time, as humans experience it, is inseparable from the vegetal. The oxygen we breathe, the food we consume, the rhythms of agriculture and settlement — all are shaped by plant life. Yet this dependency remains largely invisible”.  The curator, Alexander Burenkov, suggests that the exhibition “proposes a toolkit for slowing down, a reorientation of our sensorium to the rhythms of plants, the creation of space for vegetal attunement, reflection and contemplation in dynamic urban conditions, and the raising of questions about how duration, memory, and lived experience are produced within such environments …”
