A MONTH OF SUNDAYS: ART & THE PERSISTENCE OF TIME

The Carl Van Vechten Gallery (Fisk University) / 1000 17th Avenue N. October 6 - 31st (Reception: October 6 5:00pm - 7:00pm)

Think about how you experience time. Are there moments that slow down and stretch? Or do they happen as quickly as the blink of an eye? The Southern turn of phrase, “a month of Sundays,” suggests a prolonged period of time. The exhibition A Month of Sundays: Art & the Persistence of Time explores the concept of time through modern and contemporary works of art in a wide range of media including craft, video, painting, drawing, and sculpture. Organized into five sections, Slow Time, For the Duration, Aging and Erosion, Marking Time, and A Sense of Pause, the works of art in the exhibition demonstrate and expand upon the way we mark and experience time in our lives and in the environment.

A Month of Sundays: Art & The Persistence of Time is organized by the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts as part of the Mid-South Cohort.

The Mid-South Cohort, a multi-year, multi-institutional exhibition partnership formed by the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art, in collaboration with the Arkansas Museum of Fine Art, the Birmingham Museum of Art, Fisk University Art Gallery, and the Mississippi Museum of Art, is made possible by the Art Bridges Cohort Program.
