Considering the argument that history allows us to be untimely,

to place ourselves outside the constraints of the present,

it is our task then to make elements of this past live again,

to be reenergized through their untimely or anachronistic recall in the present.

Elizabeth Grosz, The Nick of Time, Politics, Evolution and the Untimely.

Staged in a nineteenth century building of a former Linen Bank, this project explored artistic and curatorial strategies to materialise the concept of anachronism. It looked into the experience of out-of-jointness provoked in the art encounter, whereby people become anachronistic for moments, fragments or disjunctures of chronological time.

Special thanks to Sarah Strang.
