HAIM STEINBACH
Once Again The World Is Flat
24 May - 17 August
This expansive exhibition at Kunsthalle Zürich presents the work of Haim Steinbach (born in Israel in 1944, lives and works in New York) from the early 1970s to the present day. The show focuses on Haim Steinbach’s contextual work with objects. Beginning with the question of the square frame of the paintings of the early 1970s, the work moves on to encompass architectural settings. Having incorporated objects from local collections, and realized in his exhibitions at the Center for Curatorial Studies Bard Hessel Museum in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York, in 2013, and in the Serpentine Galleries in London in Spring 2014, with which the Kunsthalle Zürich is collaborating for this exhibition, Haim Steinbach also integrates specific objects and artworks from Zürich art collections into his “Displays.”
The exhibition is a collaboration between Kunsthalle Zürich and the Center for Curatorial Studies Bard Hessel Museum in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York.
A comprehensive catalogue compiled in cooperation with the Center for Curatorial Studies Bard Hessel Museum, New York and the Serpentine Galleries will be published to accompany the exhibition.
