NEW IN THE STORE: MIKI ELETA’S NO. 25

Miki Eleta - Playing with Time
Every work of art has its own time structure, and Miki Eleta invites us to a dialogue about the transformation of time into space and vice versa.
Time passes, irreversibly. Man can do nothing about it; at best he can feel it and regrettably, only be able to realize it. He learned to interpret natural phenomena, he created tools which allowed him to measure it, try to grasp its notion, and capture it in concrete images. They are the symbols, the technical artifacts, the scientific investigations and the artistic creations through which he tries to represent it and give it shape.
The great yearning nowadays is the quest for time. In arts this is reflected by the key notions in contemporary arts theory: transition, process, assembly, sequence, development….the traditional genres, classifications and categories disappear. The creative process, the procedure and even the spectators’ participation have primacy in artistic production and consumption.
Miki Eleta takes the risk of pursuing the idea of a complete piece of art and taking the required time to produce it.
But we are entering the era of instant time. The influence of micro-processors in the way of measuring time is already making its influence felt in our ways of conceiving the universe and our ways of thinking… (castyourart)
