Curated by James Putnam, curator of the Egyptian Antiquities Department at the British Museum, Time Machine was an exhibition which contested the idea that the British Museum and its ancient Egyptian artefacts are stagnant remnants of the past, disconnected from the present. Installed in the vast Egyptian sculpture gallery the works by twelve artists achived a rare juxtaposition of ancient and contemporary art.
