I watched alarm clocks waking the sleepers for 2 hours- Great time period to watch the piece. On the cusp of waking/dreaming/sleeping and the dark into the sunrise- In india they call it Navaswann- the wave of waking before dawn. If you are up before sunrise and you hear the first bird chirp- you're on the wave- supposedly rising with the wave gives you great energy..<br /><br />Anyway, it was cool because i walked out around seven and the sun was just starting to come up and the streets were still quiet empty. I noticed<br />a palpable, wonderful, soft peacefulness as i walked and realized that after watching 2 hours of manic cutting, alarms, nightmares,(all totally absorbing, addictive and cool as hell!) there was an unexpected gift from the piece. Afterwards, I experienced a feeling that my own life, with it's uncut, seamless unity, was restored to me and I felt more inside my own body than i had before seeing the piece. That is a pretty great gift I think.<br /><br />Wish I could have gone back and seen another time, but happy I was there then..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865764596112100655.post-56731619633276510862011-02-20T12:41:09.166-05:002011-02-20T12:41:09.166-05:00I went and saw 'The Clock' at the White Cu...I went and saw 'The Clock' at the White Cube in London three times, the final time for over 2 hours and even then I could have stayed indefinitely. Intelligent, mesmerizing and so straight forward. My artwork of the decade so far.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13139489673079499234noreply@blogger.com
