The exhibition is the first large-scale survey in a United States museum dedicated to the history of the experimental German artists’ group Zero (1957–66) and ZERO, an international network of artists that shared the group’s aspiration to redefine and transform art in the aftermath of World War II. The exhibition features work by the three core members of Group Zero—Heinz Mack, Otto Piene, and Günther Uecker—and by more than 30 artists from 10 countries who comprised the larger ZERO network, including Lucio Fontana, Yayoi Kusama, Yves Klein, Piero Manzoni, Jesús Rafael Soto, Jean Tinguely, and herman de vries. These artists found common cause in the desire to use novel materials drawn from everyday life, nature, and technology and to develop innovative techniques and formats such as room-scaled installations, kinetic artworks, and live art actions. Focusing on the points of intersection, exchange, and collaboration that define the ZERO artists’ shared history, the exhibition is at once a snapshot of a specific group and a portrait of a generation. ZERO: Countdown to Tomorrow, 1950s–60s celebrates the pioneering nature of ZERO art and the transnational vision advanced by this network of artists during a pivotal decade.
A fully illustrated 244-page catalogue accompanies ZERO: Countdown to Tomorrow, 1950s–60s. Available at the museum shop and online at guggenheimstore.org and distributed in the United States through ARTBOOK | D.A.P.
Wit–Rood–Zwart is een bijzondere groepstentoonstelling van vier belangrijke aan Zero gerelateerde kunstenaars: Leo Erb, Bernard Aubertin, Henk Peeters en Jan Schoonhoven. Zij vertegenwoordigen drie kleurrealiteiten, die symbool staan voor materie (zwart), geest (wit) en bezieling (rood).
Wit-Rood-Zwart is een tentoonstelling waarin verstilde werken worden getoond die inspelen op ruimte en de werking van licht en schaduw, kwaliteiten die raken aan de uitgangspunten van Museum Belvédère. De (niet)kleuren zwart, wit en rood verbinden het werk met dat van de vooroorlogse utopische kunstenaars die worden gerekend tot het constructivisme, nieuw beelden en suprematisme.
Wit-Rood-Zwart vormt een prelude op de grote Zero-tentoonstelling die later dit jaar opent in New York en die vervolgens te zien zal zijn in Berlijn en Amsterdam. De tentoonstelling werd georganiseerd in nauwe samenwerking met Rik van Lochem en Gerhard Roetgering en werd samengesteld door gastcurator Fred Wagemans. Een bijzondere verzameling van eenentwintig niet eerder museaal getoonde tekeningen van Jan Schoonhoven, werd beschikbaar gesteld door het Institute for the Cooperation of Art and Research (ICAR) in New York en The Merchant House in Amsterdam. Deze tekeningen zijn afkomstig uit de voormalige kunstcollectie van Henk Peeters.
