Overview

One Thousand Days One Million Years was a yearlong installation by On Kawara devised specifically for Dia Center for the Arts. Every month through the 1993 calendar year, a different group of paintings from Kawara’s Today series, begun in 1966, were presented. In addition, One Million Years (Past), a monumental ten-volume series of binders containing pages filled with typewritten dates, was exhibited continuously, and One Million Years (Future) was realized for the first time as a sound piece.
