Abstract

 
 
 "This is the Time. And this is the record of the time. This is the Time. And this is the record of the time."
 Laurie Anderson
 In 2014, Stedelijk Museum Bureau Amsterdam took these lyrics of Laurie Anderson’s as a cue for an exhibition by artists investigating ‘to what extent the recording mechanisms and material recordings of our lived times represent and influence our perception of temporality’ (Harutyunyan and Muller, 2016, p17).
 A later publication includes articles from a linked conference in Beirut, Thinking About Time that, like the artworks, ‘shares an endeavor to make time an object of thought without objectifying it.’ (Harutyunyan, 2016, p23)
 It was when considering the texts in this publication that I started to reflect on print as just such a material recording. None of the essays, though wide-ranging, considers printmaking, provoking me to map the arguments onto print for myself, particularly in the light of recent collaborations with artists Alberta Whittle, Rae-Yen Song, and Annalee Davis, all of whom make work directly referencing distances of time and geography.
