Alicja Kwade's 'Telos Tales' at Pace Gallery integrates architecture and nature, featuring a sculpture with distorted clock faces and mirrored cylinders. These elements symbolize the complex relationship between time and human perception, suggesting our understanding of reality is often skewed. Kwade, a Polish artist based in Berlin, uses minimal materials like stainless steel and stone in her works, creating reflective surfaces that challenge viewers' perceptions. She notes that her art raises questions about human nature and our place in the universe, inviting deeper contemplation about reality and the passage of time.
It's very much about human nature, (the) nature of reality, how we understand our own world. It questions what our position is in the structure of the universe.
Mirrored cylinders hang among the structures with distorted clock faces on their ends, reflecting the ways we are all bound up with the passing of the days.
