An interview with Matthieu Poirier, the curator of the exhibition as well as with the fascinating German artist himself illustrated by the views of the exhibition.
Born in 1931 in a small German village, between 1950 and 1956 Heinz Mack studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. In 1957 together with Otto Piene he started a series of what were called Abendausstellungen (evening exhibitions) at their studio in Düsseldorf. This series was the initial event for the formation of the group ZERO (with Mack, Piene and Günther Uecker as its nucleus) and the international ZERO movement. Among the participants of the ZERO movement were Yves Klein, Lucio Fontana, Piero Manzoni and Jean Tinguely.
