A gesture marking the end of their three-month residency, the show unfolds as an amalgam of thought fragments in which, intuitively and with a dizzying dose of cheekiness, the concept of time surfaces through the artists\u2019 use of movement, objects, and period-defining mementoes and symbols. Truly a human construct, time in this instance is stretched, punctuated, and folded as they please to make space for speculation and dreaming. Le D. Chung\u2019s works attempt to chart an anatomy of eternity \u2013 what it feels like, what it promises (and inevitably fails to deliver), and whether it ever truly endures or it just disguises itself through a forever repetition of patterns.<\/p>\n
