Exhibition »Mack at ZKM«
Heinz Mack is one of the most important artists of the 20th and 21st centuries. In 1957 he founded the group ZERO with the artist Otto Piene in Düsseldorf. Together with other international artists, they wanted to revolutionize art after World War II. With »Mack at ZKM«, the ZKM | Karlsruhe is now dedicating a comprehensive solo exhibition to him with around 130 works from the period 1955 to 2023, including works that are being reconstructed and exhibited for the first time in a long time. Mirror objects in the glaring desert sun, shimmering color prisms in the Arctic, light-reflecting stelae, sparkling rotors, gold and silver gleaming cubes, virtual volumes generated by electrical impulses: Heinz Mack, artist of light, illuminates the atriums of the ZKM in a variety of ways.
Earlier work views can be requested by Felix Brenner (presse@zkm.de).
