"Unstuck in Time is a multi-format exhibition that explores how perceptions of time influence humankind's occupation of the earth and our relationship to each other. The exhibition features a selection of 21 artists invited to contribute towards either a series of process-led commissions, a group show or a publication project. Unstuck in Time takes its title from Kurt Vonnegut's seminal 1969 sci-fi novel Slaughterhouse Five - a World War II satire reflecting on the tragic absurdity of war and the senseless suffering it causes. Being 'unstuck in time' allows Vonnegut's time travelling protagonist Billy Pilgrim to become philosophical about his fleeting existence and the folly of humankind. The exhibition borrows Vonnegut's concept by considering what might be gleaned by being critical of 'the time'."--Publisher description.… (more)
