ZEIT TIME from D rer to Bonvicini Cat Kunsthaus Zurich in cooperation with Mus e internation

Time is one of the great mysteries in the history of civilization. Its definitions are many and can be found in the most diverse disciplines, from religion to biology and economics, above all, of course, in physics, and as an well-established theme in art. Surprisingly, for all Switzerland's reputation as a watchmaking nation, few art museums in the country have yet staged an exhibition on the subject of time that spans multiple eras and disciplines. The sensual journey of the Kunsthaus Zü rich through the history of time therefore now takes a comprehensive look at paintings, films, installations, performances, and real objects such as clocks from the 1550s to the present. Even though the clock as a time-measuring instrument is the starting point: temporal perspectives such as the biological, the paleontological, and even of personal sensations, are explored in depth in this show, curated by Cathé rine Hug, with works by, among others, 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 Jä ger, On Kawara, Herlinde Koelbl.
