Description/
Maarten Baas’ Real Time series now encompasses his Grandfather Clocks, Film Clocks, Confetti Clocks, and Sweeper’s Clock, notable editions of which include the Rijksmuseum’s Grandfather Clock and the Schiphol Clock commissioned for Amsterdam’s international airport.
This edition, Real Time XL The Artist, was exhibited in the show DYSFUNCTIONAL at the 2019 Venice Biennale. It features a life size video performance of the artist working as if from inside the clock itself, to continually draw and redraw the correct time onto the inside of the clock face.
The concept reinforces the notion of time as a human invention.
