REH-transformer is a new project space
directed by Marcus Kettel in the former Raumerweiterungshalle (produced
and used as a flexible expanding hall during the time of the German Democratic
Republic) in which the name functions as a metaphor for the innovative program
that will be presented in the space.
The notion of time and our perception of it, either it
is collective or personal, has been questioned by thinkers, intellectuals,
scientists and philosophers through the years. The fact that the experience of
time is connected to the subjectivity of a variety of events creates
difficulties in finding equivalences between different experiences of time and
approaches regarding the perception of the temporal.
According to our experiences, feelings, social manners
and behaviour, time changes, extends, expands, is being eliminated or even
extinguished. This is what makes the temporal, a particular parameter of our
life in all its conditions: social, personal, public, political, cultural.
In relation to arts, artists and art production, time
acquires a unique feature: it becomes perpetual. The artists
express themselves ignoring the constraints of time and present their
ideas and concerns free to choose the time
frame even more free to produce associations regarding time dislocation
connected to cultural, political, social, existential and many more issues. In
this case, we notice the combination of real and fictitious elements that allow
the viewer to make a variety of correlations.
The show Hermeneutics
of Perpetual Time presents works that deal with the notion of time, the
momentum and the archive, without making and obvious
and specific chronological indication and distinction. The show attempts
to reinforce the opinion of some scientists, philosophers and theorists that
the structure of past, present and future belongs to an illusionary system of
approaching time. The perception of time is being
formulated through experiences and events that are
linked to each other in a paradoxical manner.
Hermeneutics
of Perpetual Time could be viewed as fragment
of memory that includes sub-meanings of time
perception and provides an alternative paradigm to the
visitor to produce his own associations on time, space and experience as well
as the way that these influence the interpretation of our personal and
collective cosmos.
