David Lamelas’ Time as Activity (1969—2017) is the Argentine artist’s groundbreaking and ongoing series of structural films and videos. First conceived in the late 1960s in the early days of the conceptual art movement, of which Lamelas was an integral part, Time as Activity has grown to include numerous iterations, each filmed in different cities throughout Europe and the Americas. The presentation at Sprüth Magers, Los Angeles, will feature eleven films and highlight both the consistencies and the diversity between them. It will trace not only the series' evolution, but also the different locales that have informed the artist’s four-decades-long career, as well as recurring themes found across his multimedia work, including architectural space, the language of film, and the experience of time and duration.
