Scope and Contents

Timetable is a monumental sculpture conceived and installed by Maya Lin outside the Stanford University Museum of Art. In describing the work, Michel Brenson wrote in the catalogue, "the meaning of Lin's paradoxical response to the question about the nature of time in her work should be clear...within her spaces of indeterminacy, indeed helping to define them as indeterminate, are multiple experiences of time. Lin interrelates the times of water and stone, the time of the substance of the earth, the time with which the planet revolves, and human time." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
