“Non/Time” is a project dedicated to the phenomenon of time and its perception by M2 Gallery. The exhibition brings together works by 15 artists across different media - painting, sculpture, photography and installation - exploring ideas of simultaneity, transience and the infinity of time. The exhibition unfolds across three halls: the first is devoted to linear time, the second to memory and self-identity and the third reflects the inseparable connection between endings and beginnings.
Denis Patrakeev's works form a diptych within the project and become one of the key focal points of the exhibition. “Days I” and “Days II” address time as a created category - one that has its own beginning, development, and inevitable conclusion.
For the artist it is especially significant that a person is only able to experience the beginning of their “own time” while its final limit remains hidden. Reflecting on this Patrakeev constructs an image of time as a whole that already contains its own boundary from the very beginning.
Denis speaks of time as something precious — “a treasure that cannot be measured by numbers, grains of sand or clock hands” — emphasizing that “time is a mystery.”
It cannot be counted and reveals itself through form, pause and inner silence as the condition in which “everything that exists, exists in time and space.”
The exhibition will be open until March 30
