The Sakıp Sabancı Museum is currently hosting the "Zero: Countdown to the Future" exhibition that focuses on the Zero Movement which began in Germany in 1957, is a response to the stagnant and negative atmosphere that World War II left behind. "Zero," the international art movement of the 1950s and '60s that forever changed the the meaning and form of art, takes its name from a rocket-launching countdown. The exhibition brings together more than 100 works using various materials and techniques by the founders of the movement, including Heinz Mack, Otto Piene and Günther Uecker. Additionally, the works of respected artists Yves Klein, Piero Manzoni and Lucio Fontana, who served as the spiritual forefathers of the movement, are also on display. The exhibition is shaped around the basic concepts that largely inform the movement, such as light, time, space, color and movement, and is curated by the founding director of the Zero Foundation, Mattijs Visser. The exhibition displays the lateral effects of the movement chronologically from its birth to the present using various materials and techniques to bring artwork together. The exhibition will run until Jan. 10.
