The project includes a series of performances, an exhibition, talks and a publication.
Over Time - Eleven artists respond to Enderby's Wharf, a place where time is revealed in the rising and falling of the tide. Soon, this liminal space will be lost forever beneath a concrete jetty.
Go see Enderby's Wharf and the work we have made in response to it, before it's too late.

Over Time is a visual arts
project about time passing, curated by Anne Robinson. There
are ten artists taking part, working across a range of media
including painting, film, performance and animation. Each
one will make a response to spending precisely the same fixed
amount of ‘clock time‘ in specific stretch of the
Thames foreshore around Enderby’s Wharf, during the weeks and
months leading into the exhibition/performance period. The work
derived from time spent in this historically resonant and atmospheric
riverside space will result in a weekend of activities: 13th and 14th
September, 2014 and an exhibition at the University of Greenwich 18th
September to 16th October There will also be a day of performance and
film works at the National Maritime Museum on Sunday 26th
October. All of the invited artists are already engaged in some
way in working with aspects of temporality, such as perception,
elasticity, affect, politics, recording and value.
The space on the foreshore is
particularly important to the project because of the richness of the
layers of time visible there – the current rapidly
changing landscape, the natural markers, the tides and the bend
of the river and the industrial heritage and history, including
the site where the first underwater telegraph cables were laid. We
are also working with local contacts to set up workshops responding
directly to this environment in light of imminent changes. The
project is being developed in collaboration with Ian Thompson, sound
artist based at the University of Greenwich and The Facility Creative
Practice as Research group at London Met University. The other
confirmed artists are: Rachel Gomme, Ian Thompson, Claudia
Firth, Charlie Fox, Sarah Sparkes, The INternational Western
Victoria Gray, Katharine Fry and Gavin Maughfling, Jo David and
Birgitta Hosea all of whom have outstanding reputations in
their various fields, including performance digital animation, dance
and sound and have been involved in arts projects of
international standing. Please use the Contact link above if you have
any queries about the project.
