TIK TAK TOK consists of two exhibitions of artists’ clocks and time machines, taking place in Skopje and Dundee.
TIK TAK TOK represents an attempt for the artists to create an artwork around ideas associated with counting time. 
Simultaneously a group of theoreticians will work on texts associated with the theme, which will be published in a comprehensive catalogue accompanying the second exhibition in Dundee.

The works of art may tell the time of day or they may present their 'own' time. The idea of a clock entails others, and other people - a gathering, a meeting of strangers, or the desire for such: a thing (object) by which one arranges and records arrivals and departures, by which one measures presence and absence. Wherever anything lives, anything at all, there is open somewhere a register in which time, its time is being inscribed.
