He is around 70 years old (the leap years trip me up) and counts the days. Does he also count the cigarettes, the dinners out, the aeroplane trips and laundry tickets? For a long time he made a map of his daily walks and cab rides. He made lists of the people he met. He sent telegrams to friends and colleagues around the world, telling them he was still alive, ‘I am still alive - On Kawara’, and for some years he also sent out postcards from wherever he was, each rubber-stamped with a message detailing his temporary address and the time he got up. Then someone stole the rubber stamp, so he stopped. . . . When On Kawara wakes up, does he think one day more or one day less? We do not know.”</em> —Adrian Searle, The Guardian (UK), December 3, 2002</p> http://www.artsconnected.org/resource/120291/poster-five-elements-of-contemporary-art-time-on-kawara-s-selections-from-today-series Teaching posters focus on a single work in the Walker's collection and include a large image of the artwork, information about the artist, discussion questions, and related resources.
