The 720 clock faces of Every Now and Then show every minute in the twelve-hour cycle, so that the lithograph always tells the correct time.
“I have always liked the phrase about broken clocks telling the right time twice a day, and I wanted to create a static image of time where that could always be true. This print is ‘contemporary’ in a very literal sense.” (Alexander Massouras, September 2015).
Alexander Massouras (born London, 1981) is an artist, bookmaker and academic, creating work that is deeply influenced by critical and historical narrative. Ranging from large paintings to small architectural etchings, the artist challenges visual realities, drawing on reference to contextualize his compositions. His works are in the permanent collections of the: British Museum, London; London School of Economics; Rhode Island School of Design, New England and the Victoria and Albert Museum. In 2011 he won the Pulse Prize.
