FUTURA. MEASUREMENT OF TIME
14 Jan - 10 April 2022 | Special exhibition | Exhibition catalogue | German edition
What is time and how can it be represented and measured artistically? How can the future be thought? The starting point of this unusual publication, which appears on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name at the Hamburger Kunsthalle, is a work of art: the "Dripstone Machine" by Bogomir Ecker. Designed to run for an unimaginable 500 years, it runs through the entire Galerie der Gegenwart from the roof to the base floor. If everything goes undisturbed, the machine will have formed stalagmites and stalactites of about 5 cm in size over this period of time.What sounds like little, nevertheless opens up an exciting mental journey into the future. What will it look like, the future? How do we want to shape it? And what role can art play in this? Can it make a substantial contribution to a discourse on perception, imagination and questions about the future? On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the "Tropfsteinmaschine" and the Galerie der Gegenwart, around 30 international artists will address these fundamental questions about temporality, sustainability and visions of the future, some of them in their own works.Artists: Katinka Bock, John Cage, Nina Canell, Gustave Courbet, Attila Csörgö, Hanne Darboven, Edith Dekyndt, Bogomir Ecker, Oswald Egger, Elena Greta Falcini, Ceal Floyer, Caspar David Friedrich, Monika Grzymala, Pierre Huyghe, Daniel Janik, Samson Kambalu, On Kawara, Axel Loytved, Sarah Lucas, Étienne-Jules Marey, Johanna Reich, Jens Risch, Philipp Otto Runge, Ani Schulze, Roman Signer, Lucía Simón Medina, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Rayyane Tabet, Robin Watkins
Edited by Hamburger Kunsthalle, text(s) by Ecker, Bogomir; Schneede, Uwe M.; Mohs, Johanne; Kölle, Brigitte | 160 pages | Hardcover | Kettler Verlag
