“And indeed there will be time, for the yellow smoke that slides along the street, rubbing its back upon the window panes; there will be time, there will be time. To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet; there will be time to murder and create; and time for all the works and days of hands, that lift and drop a question on your plate; time for you and time for me, and time yet for a hundred indecisions, and for a hundred visions and revisions, before the taking of a toast and tea.” 

- TS Eliot, The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock (1965)  

Change is the only constant. In Buddhism, there is an emphasis on recognising the impermanence of all things. This concept holds that "all conditioned existences, without exception, are transient, evanescent, and inconstant. All temporal things, whether material or mental, are compounded objects in a constant state of change, subject to decline and destruction." The Japanese term "物哀" (mono no aware), which translates to the pathos of things, reflects a subdued and enduring sorrow faced with impermanence. Hiroshi Yoshida (1876-1950), a modern master of printmaking, is one of the representatives of the aesthetics of "mono no aware". Meanwhile, the "I Ching" (Book of Changes), as one of humanity's earliest efforts to position itself within the cosmos, employs sixty-four hexagrams as a system model for change. It advocates for a mindset of positive adaptation, seeking to understand and grasp the nature of change.

The process of art creation is the materialisation of momentary thoughts and experiences, where ideas are carried by canvas or other mediums, essentially constituting a confrontation with time. The exhibition "About Time" showcases a collection of paintings, photography, sculpture, film, and installations. Through a diverse array of media, artists communicate their encounters with transient thoughts and enduring truths, inviting the audience to share in the experiences of time, change, and eternity.

“的确总会有时间。让黄烟沿街道肆意，在窗上摩擦它的后背。总会有时间，总会有时间准备一张面孔，去迎接你遇见的面孔。总会有时间去扼杀，创造。总会有时间让辗转劳作的双手，举起问题又丢进你盘里；总会有时间，给你，给我；有时间一百次迟疑，一百次幻想与修正，在吃一片烤面包与喝茶之前”

- T.S. 艾略特，《J·阿尔弗雷德-普鲁弗洛克的情歌》

永恒的对抗

改变是唯一的永恒。佛教中强调对「无常」的认知，即 “所有有条件的存在，无一例外，都是短暂的、稍纵即逝的、不稳定的。所有临时的事物，无论是物质的还是精神的，都是在持续变化的条件中复合的对象，受制于衰退和毁灭。”  日文中有「物哀」（物の哀れ，mono no aware）一词，是面对无常而产生的克制隐忍的悲伤。现代版画大师吉田博（HiroshiYoshida,1876-1950）是「物哀」美学的代表之一。而「易经」(I Ching, Book of Changes)，作为人类试图将自己置于宇宙之中的最初努力之一, 则以六十四卦作为变化体系模型，以积极应变的思维，谋求理解、把握变化.

艺术创作是将瞬间的思想、经历具象化的过程，思想由画布或其他媒介承载，本质即是对时间的对抗。展览 about time「流年」展出作品涵盖油画、版画、摄影、雕塑、影像、装置等，艺术家通过不同媒介，分享对于时间、改变、永恒的体会，挑战、质疑，呈现超越时间限制的情感和真理
