As part of his I GOT UP series, Japanese conceptual artist On Kawara spent over a decade—with near daily consistency—mailing postcards to friends declaring what time he got up each day, resulting in pieces such as I Got Up at 7.19 A.M., Jun 6 1977. Such meticulous documentation of mundane ______ artworks that “resonate with existential, psychological and scientific implications about the time-space continuum,” according to the New York Times, became Kawara's life's work.
