During the COVID-19 crisis in the first months of 2020, communities all over the world have experienced extended times of isolation and social distancing became the norm. With our daily routine significantly changing, many of us had to adapt to a new pace of life. In this unprecedented situation, we share the feeling that time has slowed down. It is becoming harder and harder to keep track of the days passing.
Unconventional Times, is a pop-up window exhibition that tracks time through art. This exhibit presents a rotating selection of works from three Chicago-based artists: Naomi Elson, Bryan LeBeuf, and Joshi Radin. Each selected artwork occupies the exhibition window space for two weeks and then rotate. The same cycle of artworks is repeated throughout the duration of the project, the end of which will correspond with the end of the COVID-19 lockdown.
With an increasingly static environment, we have the opportunity to experience our surroundings in new ways. We notice small changes to our proximities that we were not able to pay attention to before. With a continued two-weeks rotation of artworks, this exhibition will help the local neighbor and community to track time in an unconventional way.
