Present Tense (South Gallery) features the three newest Gallery 114 artists: Phil Harris, Olivia Johnson and Liz Obert. All are working with ideas of time that span the temporal and the topical, making and contemplating. Time is the overarching fabric and measure of the world we know. There are also qualities of subjective time that are peculiar to our particular moment.

Both kinds of time are entwined in the work of these three makers. All three artists purposely employ time-intensive practices, all feel themselves to be contemporary voices, and all three work from a sense of history, firmly imbedded in the present.
