Read curatorial context and practical visitor information for Manon de Boer: Giving Time to Time at Secession in Vienna
This exhibition by Manon de Boer showcases six film works exploring the artist's interest in the conditions for creativity and free artistic creation, particularly the experience of unbounded time and a relaxed mental state. It delves into the relationship between image and sound, the power of images, and the critical examination of their truth claims.
Manon de Boer critically engages with the medium of film, examining the relationship between image and sound and questioning the power and truth claims of visuals. Her cinematic portraits, composed as slowly unfolding image sequences, often feature actors, musicians, dancers, and intellectuals whose forms emerge gradually through their memories. The fragmented and inconsistent narration in de Boer's work highlights the mutable relationship between time and language, and brings the situational perception and its variability to the forefront. In 'Giving Time to Time', de Boer presents six film works reflecting her interest in the conditions for creativity and free artistic creation. She emphasizes the importance of experiencing time as unbounded and maintaining a carefree mental state for the creative process, drawing inspiration from psychoanalyst Marion Milner and artist Agnes Martin. The exhibition includes films such as 'An Experiment in Leisure' (2016), a cinematic translation of the concept of purposeless, endless time using long takes and indirect portraits of collaborators; 'Presto, Perfect Sound' (2006) and 'Dissonant' (2010), structural films exploring repetition and variation; and 'The Untroubled Mind' (2013–2016) and 'You Can Never Be Complete' (2015), presented as film sketches. The exhibition also features 'Maud Capturing the Light ‘On a Clear Day’' (2015), a study of an Agnes Martin drawing as perceived in daily life.
Visitors are directed to purchase tickets via an external booking platform. General museum opening hours are Tuesday to Sunday, 10 am to 6 pm.
