On Kawara. One Million Years
One Million Years is an ongoing epic work conceived by on Kawara in 1969, documenting the passage and marking of time. This 20-volume work consists of two books, each covering one million years - Past and Future. Past is dedicated to “all those who have lived and died” and covers the years from 998,031 BC to 1969 AD; while Future is dedicated “for the last one” and goes up to 1,001,980 AD.
Public readings of One Million Years, with a man and a woman taking turns reading Past and Future dates together, have been taken place in cities across the world, ever since the first reading in 1993 at Dia Center for the Arts in New York. Each new reading continues in a numerical order from the previous session, until all the years are read.
For the public reading at the Centre for Fine Arts, the first one ever to take place in Belgium, we are looking for men and women to participate in this unique and extraordinary project. From 26 June till 14 July 2013, reading opportunities are available through four time slots of 90 minutes per day. Please keep in mind that the readings take place in English.
