All Of The Clocks Have Been Wrong For Years
November 11 - December 9, 2023
Opening night: Saturday November 11th, 6-9pm
With performance by Kathryn Vaughn and Lynny’s open late
How can we conceptualize different ways of telling time? What if an object fell apart as it told time? What if we measured time by task? When do we forget time? Can we feel every second, like a businessman fetishizing every, single fucking morsel of the New York Stock Exchange clock? Or maybe we see time as material, peering through the rings of a tree? Time is a mountain. Time is distance, the way wheels condense the travelling of feet. Time as a circle of birds. Time as a circle. What if time fell apart throughout the day? Could we pick it up again? All of the clocks have different voices, different ideas about time. Time as light travelling through a room. Time linked to space. Spacetime. Timespace. Sometimes.

ANAHITA (ANI) BRADBERRY
Anahita (Ani) Bradberry is an Iranian-American artist and writer creating sculptural situations with plasma light. Her work combines illuminated rare gasses within glass tubes amongst natural and industrial materials, often exploring a state of alienation that is defined by oscillating identities and cultural memory. She finds the lack of predictability in materials such as neon gas and other organic matter as a valuable characteristic, allowing the artwork autonomy and evolution over time.
Anahita has been featured in exhibitions at Women & Their Work Gallery (TX), ArtSpring Lichtkunstfest (Berlin), Dominique Gallery (LA), Two Six Eight Bowery (NYC), the Washington Project for the Arts (DC), Transformer (DC), VisArts (VA), the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center (DC), George Washington University's Gallery 102 (DC) and CICA — the Czong Institute for Contemporary Art (South Korea). Anahita earned an MA in Art History in 2015 on Japanese Modern and Contemporary Art from American University (Washington, DC), conducting primary research in Tokyo with the help of a Mellon Grant and lecturing on her research at the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2016. She later assisted in the archival projects at the Smithsonian National Museum of Asian Art. During her time in DC, she co-founded DIRT: an accessible online platform for unconventional art criticism and intimate artist interviews.
