Zeit - das große Rätsel

Die Zeit zählt zu den großen Rätseln der ­Zivilisationsgeschichte, ihre Definitionen sind zahlreich und finden sich in den unterschiedlichsten Disziplinen, von der Religion über die Biologie bis hin zur Ökonomie, zuvorderst natürlich in der Physik und als traditionsreiches Sujet in der Kunst. Überraschend ist, dass in der Uhren­­nation Schweiz die Zeit bisher nur von wenigen Kunstmuseen zum Gegenstand einer epochenübergreifend und transdisziplinär angelegten Ausstellung gemacht worden ist. Der sinnliche ­Zugriff des Kunsthaus Zürich, kuratiert von Cathérine Hug, durch­misst die Geschichte der Zeit, wobei er Gemälde, Filme, Installa­tionen, Performances und Realien ­(ins­besondere Uhren) aus den letzten 600 Jahren präsentiert. Und auch wenn die Uhr als Zeitmesser am ­Aus­gangspunkt steht, werden neben der ­physikalischen auch temporale Perspektiven wie die biologische, paläontologische oder auch die der persönlichen Empfindungen einer eingehend Unter­suchung unterzogen. U. a. mit ­Werken von Sinzo Aanza, Giacomo Balla, Black Qantum Futurism, Manon de Boer & George van Dam, Abraham-Louis Breguet, Pieter Claesz, ­Honoré Daumier, Jean ­Dubuffet, William Hogarth, Roni Horn, ­Monica ­Ursina Jäger, On Kawara, ­Herlinde Koelbl, Alicja Kwade, MANON, Jonathan Monk, Sophie Nys, Dieter Roth, Cyril ­Schäublin, Una Szeemann.

Ausstellung:
Kunsthaus Zürich, 22/9/2023 - 14/1/2024
