La máquina del tiempo. Lara Ruiz

The Time Machine is a reflexive operation on the subject of working rhythms in the visual arts, between the observing and envisioning stage and the doing and materialising stage, taking these two nodes as the beginning and culmination of a process. The exhibition takes shape as a participatory apparatus that keeps a time log of the creation of a space intended for artistic work, envisioned as a place of residence and practice, where the time needed for production is pieced together. These timespans are enshrined on punch cards, precisely indicating their beginning and end. In this light, time emerges as the structural condition behind artistic labour, even when any attempt to calculate it overrides any possible register, and the productivity it holds remains unquantifiable.
