A Brief History Of Time:
Kópavogur Edition
That Time
Runs until December 18 | Gerðarsafn (Kópavogur Art Museum) | Admission: 500 ISK
Time. What is time? How do people understand it? How do
we feel it? Do we feel it? What is a second? What is a minute?
Hour? What is space-time? What is space? Is space real? What
is the Moon? Did America fake the moon landing? Why do the
shadows not line up? Why is the flag moving? Why did Buzz
Aldrin’s footprint stay put? Isn’t it a vacuum? What are they
hiding?
... Ok, we can’t promise that the Cycle Festival’s ongoing
exhibition “That Time” will answer all or any of these ques-
tions, but we can promise it will definitely present artwork
from more than 20 artists inviting different perspectives on
the idea of time. SS/HJ
