Til Tiden, Malene Nors Tardrup (2013)

about the project

On time / An exhibition in the context of time at Sydhavn S-train-station. July 26th – August 11th. 2013.

I have worked with apocalyptic movements and doomsday prophecies, which over time meant to know when Judgment Day would occur. So far, all such predictions have been erroneous – they have not occurred on time.The paradoxical is also that if a doomsday prophecy had occurred, it would rule out all the subsequent prophecies. 

For the show ‘On time’ at Sydhavn Station, 5 timely, timebased, timeconsuming, timethinking (etc) artists have been invited to create an artwork for a time-space, rather than an assigned squaremeter-space in the exhibition-room. The show will consist of 51 summerhours of exhibitions, screenings, performances and installations.

In 15 of the commercial-stands of the station, there will also be a poster by each artist. A poster that can be an artwork in its own right, as well as an advertisement, or a timetable for for the piece in the exhibition-room.
