Our sense and concept of time surely has evolved over the centuries.
A British Art Collective Tra'La invites us to hit the pause button and think about what time means to us and others.
They introduce their project 'Dead time and Negative Space' with following quote:
“Doing nothing is tinged with guilt in our culture. […] But just doing
nothing is the first step to something else happening to you.” – Marina
Abramović

The 'Dead time and Negative Space' exhibit brings two groups together:
"It features 25 artists from Chelsea School of Art alongside both emerging and established artists from across the UK. The artists explore the theme through a diverse range of medium such as a percussionist performance which leaves the score as an installation, thus becoming ‘the shell or carapace of the performance, like a snake that has shed its skin, the negative space of the performance…. a representation of time, now dead…’; or an awe-inspiring painting which encompasses how ‘people [don’t] take time in today’s busy life to contemplate its origin’."
Show opens Saturday, February 20, 2010 (11 AM to 5 PM) at Goodenough College…(5 minutes walk from St Pancras Tube Station).
