Reading Time in Space. Modernism at mumok 1910 to 1955
Is modernism an epoch? How did artists see this in the 1920s? Reading Time in Space answers these questions by referring to four exhibitions and book projects that constituted the first global presentations of modernism and raised key questions in their own time. These projects rested on new concepts of space and time. They include El Lissitzky鈥檚 und Hans Arp鈥檚 fictitious exhibition project of 1924 and Friedrich Kiesler鈥檚 legendary theater exhibition of the same year. In an installation by Nicole Six/Paul Petritsch, this mumok exhibition explores temporal and spatial coordinates whose parameters are constituted by elements of modernism.
