We are so often pressed for time. We spend time, buy time, save time, but rarely do we experience time. In this performance, MFA student Xinwei Che will inhabit 40 hours by attending to candle flames and pigments made from traditional Chinese herbal medicine.

Performance schedule:

April 6, 7, 8, 11 and 12 from 10am to 6:30pm.

The installation will remain on view until April 14 (10am - 6:30pm)

Please note that the performance will be recorded on video for documentation.
