The eccentric, time obsessed, and rather reclusive Japanese artist On Kawara (he doesn’t give interviews nor offer any commentary on his own work) currently has a very fascinating exhibit up at the David Zwirner Gallery in New York. Visitors–or in this case, participants—are asked to sit inside an enclosed booth and take turns reading progressive dates going one million years into the future and one million years into the past.
