As light is to painting, so is time to video. For centuries, time in art had been connected to the idea of permanence, and then, since the 60s, performance. But where is time now?

Time, after all, is a universal language, yet it is perhaps the least commonly understood. Making Time attempts to clarify that gap. Beginning with many influential single-channel video works from the 60s and early 70s, including Andy Warhol's Empire and Gilbert & George's Singing Sculpture, Making Time traces time-based work through the present, juxtaposing these experimental works against narrative works from the same period.
