Today is the first public day of The Armory Show, visit us at Booth 208 through Sunday.
On our booth is Julian Charrière’s sculpture Imperfect Lovers, from a series that debuted at the 2026 Venice Biennale, of a clock that no longer measures time conventionally, but instead has become a surface upon which time is expressed as a physical accumulation.
Covered in layers of minerals like salt, calcium carbonate, and metals, the clocks now become places where time accumulates and manifests. As the once-precise ticking gives way to the languid progression of geological time, the clocks exhibit signs of transformation, illustrating that time is not merely a construct we regulate. Instead, it emerges as a powerful force that continually inform and influences the surrounding environment, revealing the interconnectedness of the Earth’s processes with our human-made systems.
