摘要：
SOLOMON R. GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM * October 10, 2014-January 7. 2015 * Curated by Valerie Hillings * Promoting a vision somewhere between glory and horror, the postwar German group Zero has long puzzled me. Was their self-proclaimed desire to create a tabula rasa--to wipe the slate clean for the world--part of a techno-utopian beginning or an insidious historical forgetting? Or neither? This large-scale survey ventures to find out, showcasing approximately two hundred works and installations by members Heinz Mack, Otto Piene, and Gunther Uecker but also by their pan-European network of friends and associates, from Lucio Fontana to Jess Rafael Soto. Beyond these social and geographic relations, Zero made connections across media, too, linking painterly grid and raster scan, monochrome and screen, bodily movement and mechanized kinesis, optical perception and electric light--and pointing toward a future in which art and technology, human and nonhuman, might merge, for better or for worse.
