What Is A 'Weekend'?
Artwork Title: Espace-Temps En Fusion
Artist: Salvador Dali
1975, Drypoint etching, lithograph and screenprint on paper, Anonymous gift, 1981/2.110.8
This work, which was part of Salvador Dali's 1975 Imaginations and Objects of the Future  portfolio, explored the artist's focus on new technologies and their ability to create alternate universes. Dali stated that the clock in this work not only signifies the slippage of time, but also creates a roadway for space-time travel.

Reflection Prompts:
  • How does Dali's concept of the power of new technologies translate to our virtual experiences today?
  • Time is wonky right now. Days can muddle together and March stretched on for months. Do you ever feel like the Dowager Countess of Grantham on PBS Masterpiece's Downton Abbey when she, perplexed, asks Matthew Crawley "What is a 'weekend'?"
