Ornaments November 1 – December 8 0 to 60: The Experience of Time through Contemporary Art March 24 – August 11 at the North Carolina Museum of Art April 20 – August 31 at Penland School of Crafts Co-organized by the NCMA and Penland School of Crafts, 0 to 60 highlights a current trend in contemporary art: explorations of the intersection of time and art by artists who employ innovative and experimental techniques. This collaborative, multimedia exhibition is on view simultaneously at both sites, featuring a major exhibition and outdoor installations at the NCMA and a series of artist residencies and installations at Penland, accompanied by a fully illustrated catalog that covers the projects at Penland and the NCMA. Focusing on the concept of time and its influence on art, the exhibition looks at how time is used as form, content, and material in art, and how art is used to represent, evoke, manipulate, or transform time.
