TIEMPO AL TIEMPO/ TAKING TIME

With only a few weeks to go before our celebrations of the museum’s fifth anniversary on 13 November, at the MARCO we are proud to present TIEMPO AL TIEMPO / TAKING TIME, a home-produced exhibition which, to mark the event, will occupy all of the building’s spaces and which invites visitors to reflect on a central theme —the passage of time— which we believe to be particularly befitting in the context of this assessment of what these past five years have yielded.

Isabel Carlos and myself, as curators, have coincided in the need of analysing the way in which time, as the leitmotiv of the show, defines our world today. The title also refers to the history of the building that houses the MARCO, which was originally a prison, then a court of justice, before becoming an art centre. The selection of artists and works —many of which have been produced specifically for the occasion— aims to analyse our obsession with the passage of time, memory, and the meaning and burden of history. In each of the 34 visions, or interpretations, of time provided by as many artists, time is not an anecdotal circumstance but a constant presence.
