For Intervals, a solo presentation of four works installed in the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in 2009, Aranda explored and inverted the notion of time as a strictly assigned linear designation marked by clocks and calendars. Each piece, such as a clock that kept time according to Aranda’s own heartbeat (Two shakes, a tick and a jiffy, 2009), captures time’s passage in an individualized sense. This preoccupation with temporal politics was explored the year prior in You Had No Ninth of May! (2008), a series of installation pieces that conceptually and formally map the international date line at Kiribati, the South Pacific archipelago that shifted its politically determined boundary so that its territory would no longer be split between “today” and “tomorrow,” further investigating officially assigned time as a theme of her work.
