Image Lab Exhibition 2010: Image and Temporality
16.9.2010 – 30.10.2010, eikones NCCR Iconic Criticism, Basel
Image Lab: A collaboration of eikones, NCCR Iconic Criticism, and the Academy of Art and Design FHNW, Visual Communication Institute.
The dimension of time is one of the fundamental dimensions of our perception, thought and action. Despite its omnipresence, time eludes visibility, and in the realm of the image appears as anything but a self-evident factor. While in speaking of images we deal most naturally with the category of space, the relation to time does not seem to emerge on its own – however fundamental it may be. The history of images shows that various aspects of temporality such as composed time, represented time, historical time and narrated time manifest themselves in images. They all appear, but they allude to a much more fundamental aspect of the relation between image and time, associated namely in that every depiction requires temporality in order to be articulate at all. Image Lab 2010 focused on the issue of how one can contemplate the question of time in an image through image design. Students of the “Master of Arts in Visual Communication and Iconic Research” have drafted a series of images which reflect upon the relation of image and temporality in various ways. The results of this applied iconic research are thus on exhibit on the premises of eikones NCCR Iconic Criticism.
We gladly invite you to the exhibit’s inauguration on 16 September 2010 at 18:00 h.
The exhibition is open to the public on working days from 9:00-18:00 h from 17 September to 30 October 2010.
