Floating Time is the latest work from Tatsuo Miyajima, one of the leading artists of his generation to emerge from Japan. Miyajima has risen to international recognition and acclaim for his exploration of time and our complex perception of it as a scientific and philosophical phenomenon.

In the darkened upper and lower spaces of Entwistle, Miyajima presents Floating Time which builds on his earlier L.E.D. number works. Floating Time utilizes computer-controlled electronic numbers projected onto the surface of a series of low tables. The coloured numbers are continuously changing and counting from 1 to 9, each at its own set rhythm. Zero, which for Miyajima represents an end, is never used because for him time itself can never end. In these beautiful electronic works every sequence of numbers is predetermined but the complex movements and rhythms can appear spectacularly random and choreographed.

Tatsuo Miyajima was born in Tokyo in 1957.

Miyajima has had solo exhibitions throughout the world, including the Kunsthalle Zurich; Queens House, Greenwich, London; Foundation Cartier pour lArt Contemporain, Paris; Hayward Gallery, London; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. He has also exhibited in numerous group exhibitions, including; 43a La Biennale di Venezia: Aperto 88, Venice; Prospect 89,Frankfurter Kunstverein; Magiciens de la terre, Musee National dArt Moderne, Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; Against Nature: Japanese Art in the Eighties, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Rhetorical Image, The New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York; Zones of Love – Contemporary Art >From Japan, Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney; Japanese Art After 1945: Scream Against The Sky, Solomon R.Guggenheim Museum, New York.
