If you have the opportunity to visit the Pace Gallery in NYC prior to August 15, 2025 please stop in and see the latest Alicja Kwade exhibit, Telos Tales. This exhibition features new monumental sculptures by Kwade, a Berlin, Germany artist. Electric Time Company has had the pleasure of working with Alicja Kwade and her studio for over 10 years.
Telos Tales features three large, double-sided clocks with ticking second hands. The clocks are recessed into long, polished, stainless steel tubes and hung at various heights in the room. The clock’s reflections are seen in the tubes, and the ticking sound envelops the gallery. Structural members morph into cast bronze tree limbs which envelop the tubes. The juxtaposition of the surfaces and reflections explore the intangible nature of time.
In the second room, eight bronze canisters hold tubes of cast glass. Our dials with clock movement assemblies are distorted while they continue to tick away. The notion of time is challenged by the visual perception.
