Negative Space | Trajectories of Sculpture

From body to space - Sculpture in the 20th and 21st centuries
The exhibition »Negative Space« (06.04.2019 to 11.08.2019) at ZKM Karlsruhe endeavors to change the dominating view of modern and contemporary sculpture by telling a different story. With the aim to investigate the relationship between sculpture and space in a decidedly spatial way, the presented art works address the sculptural phenomenon in relation to diverse spatial concepts: 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 - in contrast to the traditional concept - is committed to contour, emptiness, and levitation. Visitors will encounter what is light instead of heavy, what is not full but empty, what is marked open instead of closed, what is not dense but diaphanous, airy, and light.
void instead of volume

airy instead of solid
weightless instead of heavy
virtual instead of real
shadow instead of light
abstract instead of figurative

I suppose if we are taking down all the statues they will have to be replaced with bags of air, hanging wires and sticks. One day we may evolve to characters on a cave wall.
