Suzanne Dirks To Lecture At The Horological Society Of New York
Suzanne Dirks, an artist and educator based in New York City, will present a lecture at the Horological Society of New York on January 5, 2026, exploring the significance of public clocks in the city. She poses the question of whether these clocks still influence how people navigate New York or if they have become overlooked elements of the urban landscape. Through her examination of the history of public timekeeping and community efforts to restore these clocks, Dirks aims to highlight the role of these timepieces in fostering shared time, civic engagement, and connections among residents in a rapidly evolving city. The lecture will take place at the General Society Library in Midtown Manhattan, with free tickets available for attendees. Doors will open at 5:30 PM, and the lecture is set to begin at 6 PM. All lectures by the Horological Society of New York are free to the public and will be recorded for later viewing, providing an opportunity for both members and non-members to engage with the subject matter.
