Group exhibition Zero + opens in Hilden
Sunday, 2025/04/06, 11 am | Kunstraum Gewerbepark Süd, Hilden /DE
With Zero +, the Kunstraum Gewerbepark Süd invites you to the opening of an extensive group exhibition and supporting program on 6 April.
The “Zero” art movement, which was launched in the early 1950s by Heinz Mack, Otto Piene and later Günther Uecker, established itself as a liberation from the shadows of the Second World War and a departure towards new, positive, light-flooded art forms. They used reflective materials, mirroring and dynamic spatial constructions to steer art in a new direction. The movement questioned traditional aesthetic ideals and explored new philosophical approaches. Although the Zero group of artists disbanded in 1966, their legacy lives on in numerous contemporary art projects. The exhibition sheds light on this legacy and shows works by artists such as Mischa Kuball, Ólafur Eliasson and Hartmut Neumann, who continue the Zero concept in their own works. In addition to works by Mack, Piene and Uecker, portraits of the artists and works by Charles Wilp and Yves Klein will also be presented.
