The exhibition, inspired by Anne Carson’s Men in the Off Hours, will explore themes of fragmented time, identity, and the transformative, often overlooked moments that shape us.

Anne Carson’s Men in the Off Hours opens by confronting the moments outside the bounds of traditional time. It is a meditation on figures—famous, forgotten, and mythic—that inhabit the silent, liminal spaces between action and reflection. Carson invites us to reconsider the nature of masculinity, time, and presence by highlighting these "off hours"—times when history is not being made, but when profound personal and universal truths emerge. The exhibition responds to this central idea by exploring how identity, masculinity, and time itself are shaped by these hidden, overlooked moments.

Just as Carson’s prose draws unexpected connections between figures like Thucydides, Virginia Woolf, and Lazarus, the exhibition will combine mythic and modern narratives, challenging the viewer to rethink history and identity through the lens of what has been left out, erased, or hidden in the cracks of time. The "off hours" are not simply times of rest or inaction; they are essential moments of personal transformation and introspection, spaces where one can grapple with the complexities of life, death, memory, and myth.
