Investigating what "missingness" might mean in political and aesthetic terms, Missing Time draws together works from Brazil, China, Palestine, the Philippines, Argentina, Greece, Iraq, Australia, and the United States, to explore the critical tension between art making and the stories, archives, people, that - for diverse reasons - are absent, erased, or actively ‘disappeared’. Conceived as a constellation of ‘missing things’, the exhibition explores the im/possibility of recovering stories, censored archives, the lives of those who have disappeared, and confiscated or looted objects. Tinged as much with humour, as with melancholy, Missing Time reminds us that the missing are a matter of essential value and justice.

Watermelon Flag
100% Polyester, Disarming Design
In 1967, Israel criminalised the flag of Palestine. In 1980, three artists were arrested for violating this order. Artist Issam Badr asked his arresting officer: “if I paint a flower with these colours, what will you do?”. To this, the officer responded: “It would be confiscated. Even if you paint a watermelon it will be confiscated.”
