This installation is created from a live work, Pace Investigations No. 6, by Sandrine Schaefer.
In the 1850’s The Waltham Watch Company developed machinery that produced interchangeable parts. This influenced the mass production of timepieces on a global scale and consequently privileged a shared time consciousness still felt today. PACE Investigations No. 6.0 tracks Sandrine Schaefer in a yearlong performance artwork that explores Waltham's historic role in the mass synchronization of mechanical time, considered pre-colonial understandings of time buried by industrialization, and proposes ways time might be measured in the future. Sited on a public pathway nestled between the former Waltham Watch Factory and where the Charles River runs along the Mount Feake Cemetery, Pace Investigations No. 6 repeats at dawn and dusk on the equinoxes and solstices for one year.
Location: Waltham Watch Factory, Waltham, Massachusetts
