In conjunction with the exhibition Alicja Kwade: In Between Glances, this conversation explored the relationship between Alicja Kwade’s work and principles of science and history that relate to visualizing the concept of time. How do we perceive time; what are the theories of time; what is fabricated and what is illusion? Artist Alijca Kwade, Jimena Canales, historian of the physical sciences, and Taylor Perron, Associate Professor of Earth, Atmospheric & Planetary Sciences at MIT discussed visualizing time through both abstract and concrete terms. This discussion reconsidered what is actually real, and explored the possibilities of the imagination.
