The Correct Time
July 16 – October 3, 2022
Time is curious. We cannot see, touch, or taste it, yet we experience it through the motion of the sun, reverberation in music, and the changing of seasons. We measure time obsessively, and make it visible through the design of clocks, which convey graphic and information design through form, color, shape, lines, and typography. Clocks also demonstrate personality, foster innovation, and can even highlight power dynamics. Another curious thing about time is that it only moves one direction, forward. This exhibition serves as a reminder that despite our differences, time is one of the things that unites us all.
The Correct Time expands upon an artwork initiated in 1989 by Barbara Koenen collecting 720 donated broken clocks, one for each minute in 12 hours, because even a broken clock is right twice a day!
