Joy Like Time explores how memory, ritual and renewal intersect through the work of internationally renowned artists Marina Abramović, Kalliopi Lemos and Gillian Wearing.
Tracking the careers of this select group of artists in depth, this exhibition looks at how they have found life’s meaning through their practice via craft and repetition. The exhibition asks if duration marks everything from commutes to lifespans, from harvests to histories, might it also help us confront one of humanity’s most enduring questions: what is the meaning of life?
Joy Like Time is part of the Sainsbury Centre’s What is the Meaning of Life? exhibition season and is curated by John Kenneth Paranada, Curator of Art and Climate Change at the Sainsbury Centre.
