Negative Space

Trajectories of Sculpture

ZKM / Zentrum für Kunst und Medien / Karlsruhe | 06.04. - 11.08.2019

The exhibition “Negative Space” aims to change the view on modern and contemporary sculpture and wants to tell a different story. The objective of the exhibition is to think about the relationship between sculpture and space from a decidedly spatial perspective. All exhibits focus on the sculptural phenomenon in relation to diverse concepts of space: Open spaces, surrounding, hollow and intermediate spaces, mirror, light and shadow spaces, virtual data spaces, etc. The exhibition offers a comprehensive overview of the art of sculpture, which, contrary to traditional definitions, is committed to contour, emptiness and levitation: light instead of heavy, not full but empty, open instead of closed, diaphanous instead of dense, airy and light.

Robert Adams, Hans Arp, Max Bill, Olafur Eliasson, Adolf Luther, Jakob Mattner, Antoin Pevsner, Fred Sandback, Andy Warhol, and others.
