On Kawara’s installation, the reading of One Million Years, will be presented for the first time in Indonesia, corresponding with the artist’s debut exhibition at MACAN. For this presentation, male and female volunteers will alternately read out dates from Kawara’s multi-volume collection which comprises One Million Years [Past], noting each year over an entire millennium from 998031 BC, and One Million Years [Future], noting each year over an entire millenium through 1001997 AD.

The first audio presentation of One Million Years took place at the Dia Center for the Arts in New York in 1993, and has been presented at numerous venues since, including documenta 11 (Kassel, Germany) and Trafalgar Square (London, UK).
