Grandmother Clock, Timekeeper

O’clock. Time Design, Design Time, was an exhibition presented at Milan’s Triennale Museum. It was curated by Silvana Annicchiarico and Jan van Rossem, and designed by 
Spanish-designer Patricia Urquiola.

The exhibition explored the relationship between time and design through showcasing work from over 70 international artists and designers, in three key sections: measurement of time, time-traversing objects and the experience of time. Work included installations, products, art pieces, site-specific works and videos.

Quins work for this show includes two design objects: Grandmother Clock and Timekeepers. Both objects measure the passing of time by using thread, physicalising how time accumulates - a sight that is usually invisible.
