Albuquerque’s monumental installation This Moment in Time spans the pool outside Gates Annex at CalTech. The artist’s use of gold refers to the creation of the precious metal and other chemical elements through nuclear fusion reactions within stars—a process theoretically and experimentally studied in landmark research by CalTech physicist William A. Fowler and his colleagues in the 1950s and ’60s, who referred to it as the nucleosynthesis theory. This Moment in Time commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of Albuquerque’s first exhibition at CalTech’s Baxter Art Gallery in 1974.
