Project Stream: Concepts of Time by Adelheid Mers

Texts about space read over many years in conjunction with a sculpture/installation based art practice inspired a set of drawings outlining concepts of time (completed in 2008 at the Banff Centre), presented with a prepared Whiteboard in performance lecture format (Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago.) One of the concepts, the Hairy Blob, was explored further by curating an exhibition of art works that related to it (Hyde Park Art Center, Chicago.)
