DESCRIPTION:<em>ZERO: Countdown to Tomorrow\, 1950s&ndash\;60s</em> \, is t
 he first  large-scale historical survey in the United States dedicated to 
 the  German artists' group Zero (1957&ndash\;66) founded by Heinz Mack and
  Otto  Piene and joined in 1961 by G&uuml\;nther Uecker\, and ZERO\, an in
 ternational  network of like-minded artists from Europe\, Japan\, and Nort
 h and South  America&mdash\;including Lucio Fontana\, Yves Klein\, Yayoi K
 usama\, Piero  Manzoni\, Almir Mavignier\, Jan Schoonhoven\, and Jes&uacut
 e\;s Rafael Soto&mdash\;who  shared the group&rsquo\;s aspiration to trans
 form and redefine art in the  aftermath of World War II. Featuring more th
 an 40 artists from 10  countries\, the exhibition explores the experimenta
 l practices developed  by this extensive ZERO network of artists\, whose w
 ork anticipated  aspects of Land art\, Minimalism\, and Conceptual art. <e
 m>ZERO</em> encompasses a diverse range of media including painting\, scul
 pture\,  works on paper\, installations\, and archival materials such as  
 publications and photographic and filmic documentation. The exhibition  is
  organized around points of intersection\, exchange\, and collaboration  t
 hat defined these artists&rsquo\; shared history. Among the themes explore
 d  are the establishment of new definitions of painting (such as the  mono
 chrome\, serial structures\, and fire and smoke paintings)\; the  introduc
 tion of movement and light as both formal and idea-based aspects  of art\;
  the use of space as subject and material\; the interrogation of  the rela
 tionship between nature\, technology\, and humankind\; and the  production
  of live actions or demonstrations. At once a snapshot of a  specific grou
 p and a portrait of a generation\, the show celebrates the  pioneering nat
 ure of both the art and the transnational vision advanced  by the ZERO net
 work during a pivotal decade.\n\nHours:\n Mon&ndash\;Wed\, Fri\, Sun 10am&
