Newsletter: Essential Arts: Cruising the Sunset Strip with Ed Ruscha

Galleryplatform.la put a fresh crop of new works up this week and I was intrigued by a new video by L.A. artist Joel Kyack, presented by François Ghebaly. “TIME TIME TIME,” 2020, is a nearly 12-minute video that dwells on the more material aspects of time. What does it look like to watch time pass — say, in an hourglass? Or what does it sound like — symbolically — to mark the beginnings and ends of all human life on earth?

The pandemic has screwed up our understanding of time. (The presidential debate was 10 years ago, right?) Let Kyack mess with it further.

You can find the video here. (Note: it contains graphic violence, albeit of the feature film sort.)
