ANDREW ROGERS

TIME AND SPACE | DRAWING ON THE EARTH

 

 

 
 
ABOUT:

A salon evening of artful discussion and drinks, as a prelude to the show at MOMENTUM | Berlin, Andrew Rogers – Time and Space: Drawing on the Earth. The evening features a discussion with Eleanor Heartney (NY-based art critic and writer for Art in America) and Adam Nankervis (Australian, Berlin-based curator and artist) interrogating what we define as time-based art, and situating Andrew Rogers’ monumental interventions on the surface of the earth within this context.

Time and Space: Drawing on the Earth at MOMENTUM | Berlin features photographs and documentation of Andrew Rogers’ “Rhythms of Life”, the largest contemporary land art undertaking in the world, forming a chain of 47 massive stone sculptures, or Geoglyphs, around the globe. The project has involved over 6,700 people in 13 countries across seven continents. Australian sculptor Andrew Rogers employes local materials and building methods in constructing his Geoglyphs on a scale which can be seen from space, and with the intent to endure in their environments for hundreds of years.

Rogers’ sculptural practice is ultimately durational, from the length of time it takes to realize each project (upwards of 20 years in some cases), to the time they will leave their mark upon the surface of the earth, to the time it takes to view and experience structures on this scale. As a platform for time-based art, MOMENTUM considers this body of work as a departure point to interrogate what we mean by time-based practice.

MOMENTUM | Berlin invites you to TIME AND SPACE: Drawing on the Earth at our Berlin gallery from 9 September to 23 October 2011. This show is timed to coincide with the September completion in Cappadocia, Turkey of Time and Space, the largest land art sculpture park in the world and the current culmination of Andrew Rogers’ Rhythms of Life project. Located at the heart of Berlin’s Turkish community, MOMENTUM is pleased to bring to Berlin these monumental interventions in Turkey’s most beautiful landscape, and other far-reaching locations around the world. Please join us for a global journey in time and space.
