This is among the fundamental questions about the nature and politics of time that philosophers  artists and more recently curators have investigated over the past two decades. If clock timea linear measurement that can be unified  followed and ownedis largely the invention of capitalist modernity and binds us to its strictures  how can we extricate ourselves and discover alternative possibilities of experiencing time? Recent art has explored such diverse registers of temporality as wasting and waiting  regression and repetition  dj vu and seriality  unrealized possibility and idleness  non-consummation and counter-productivity  the belated and the premature  the disjointed and the out-of-syncall of which go against sequentialist time and index slips in chronological experience. While such theorists as Giorgio Agamben and Georges Didi-Huberman have proposed anachronistic or heterochronic readings of history  artists have opened up the field of time to the extent that the very notion of the contemporary is brought into question. This collection surveys contemporary art and theory that proposes a wealth of alternatives to outdated linear models of time.
