Over Time (published by Inventory Press) pairs works from James Benning (b. 1942) and Sharon Lockhart (b. 1964) with a collaborative text. Designed and edited by artist (and friend), Martin Beck, the result is a profound conversation between accomplished artists that highlights how slow, studied examination and reflection can deepen and enrich often overlooked, everyday experience.
Benning and Lockhart have each made careers of investigating the structure of film itself and rethinking the use of duration and sound. Both artists’ work illustrates the importance of close observation and the evolving urban landscape.
