pubs.rights-statement	Painting and Time was the name of a two person exhibition, featuring myself and Justin Trendall at the Institute of Contemporary Art Newtown (ICAN) in June 2011. The exhibition was the third in a series of collaborations between the two artists based on a shared interest in the writings of the German philosopher Martin Heidegger and its application to critical theory and contemporary art practice. The works in the show which featured painted dustjackets by Titmarsh and embroidered photographs by Trendall highlighted the forgotten temporal aspects of painting and image making. Time as such, has various dimensions, from lived time such as the time it takes to make a work, through to historical time that stretches out beyond the confines of the studio and individual existence. The work in this show was supplemented by a catalogue essay entitled “Timing and Paint” in which the discussion of various types of time was linked to the temporality of paint as a medium and as a historical discipline. This essay, combined with the luminous works in the show, was also the beginning of a new discourse on colour, how bright colours in contemporary art are associated with, what David Batchelor calls ‘chromophilia’, an excess of colour that conflicts with the usual equation of good taste with reduced use of colours.	en_US

Abstract:

An installation of paintings and installations using book dustjackets as substrate. . âPainting and Timeâ extends a conversation about the way temporality registers in an artwork. Time was a central thematic of Heiddegerâs work. His interest in finding new ways of describing its subtle centrality never waned. This shows is not a commentary on Heideggerâs long and complex writings but rather acts as an experimental response to ideas arising from his texts. The work in the show takes up the idea of lived time, the kind of time that we understand intuitively, the time that is revealed through the acts of making and thinking.
