How have artists responded to our market-driven, tech-enabled
culture of speed? Viewing Velocities explores a contemporary art
scene caught in the gears of 24/7 capitalism. It looks at artists
who embrace the high-octane experience economy and others who are
closer to the slow movement. Some of the most compelling artworks
addressing the cadences of contemporary work and leisure play on
distinct, even contradictory conceptions of time. From Danh Vo's
relics to Moyra Davey's photographs of dust-covered belongings,
from Roman Ondak's queuing performers and Susan Hiller's outdoor
sleepers to Maria Eichhorn's art strike and Ruth Ewan's giant
reconstruction of the French revolutionary calendar, artists have
drawn out aspects of the present temporal order that are familiar
to the point of near-invisibility, while outlining other, more
liberating ways of conceiving, organising and experiencing time.
Marcus Verhagen builds on the work of theorists Jonathan Crary,
Hartmut Rosa and Jacques Rancière to trace lines of insurgent art
that recast struggles over time and history in novel and revealing
terms.
