Crip Time
Alison Kafer
$55
According to American professor Alison Kafer, who coined the term, "crip time" represents the divergent or augmented relationship that people with disabilities have with linear time. Kafer contends, "rather than bend disabled bodies and minds to meet the clock, crip time bends the clock to meet disabled bodies and minds." The exhibition of the same name was the first museum show to center on artists living with disabilities, 41 in total, who through their work highlight the lived experiences of disabilities visible and invisible. Presented in a playful format, the accompanying catalog includes an extended reader with essays on crip theory and disability studies.
Artists include: John Akomfrah, Jillian Crochet, Jesse Darling, Isa Genzken, Nan Goldin, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Mike Kelley, Christine Sun Kim, Carolyn Lazard, Park McArthur, Michelle Miles, Leroy F. Moore Jr., Cady Noland, Dietrich Orth, Gerhard Richter, Finnegan Shannon, Wolfgang Tillmans, Rosemarie Trockel.
