  • Jan Henderikse to Infinity
    press release JAN HENDERIKSE TO INFINITY Galerie Schoots + Van Duyse, Antwerp, and Kunstzolder.be, Lembeke Curator: Antoon Melissen JAN HENDERIKSE TO INFINITY Summary From 28 June to 27 September, Galerie Schoots + Van Duyse in 100 words and Kunstzolder.be are staging an exhibition in Antwerp by Dutch artist Jan Henderikse (Delft, 1937), curated by independent publicist-curator Antoon Melissen. Henderikse, co-founder of the Dutch Nul Group in 1961, already moved to Dusseldorf in 1959, at that time the cradle of the international ZERO movement. ‘Jan Henderikse - ZERO to Infinity’ features work both from the Nul period and from later, including the most recent work from 2015. Furthermore, several large assemblages made in 1965-1967 from the collection of the artist have never previously been exhibited. JAN HENDERIKSE TO INFINITY Consistent with the increasing interest and revaluation of the international ZERO movement, Galerie Schoots + Van Duyse and Kunstzolder.be are organizing a major presentation by Jan Henderikse in Antwerp. In 1961, Henderikse (together with Armando, Henk Peeters and Jan Schoonhoven), was co-founder of the Dutch Nul Group, the artists’ group that expressly sought contact with the international ZERO movement and its sympathizers. Since 2000, Henderikse has been working both in New York and in his studio in Antwerp and is thus, together with Paul van Hoeydonck, one of the last artists of the ‘ZERO generation’ still active in Belgium. Under the title ‘Jan Henderikse - ZERO to Infinity’, independent publicist-curator Antoon Melissen has compiled an exhibition that contrasts early work from the Nul era with new work. Several large assemblages made in 1965-1967 from the collection of the artist have never previously been shown and are premiered in the exhibition.

The 1960s were rife with such moments and as such it is with pleasure that we are able to showcase the collision of three such bodies of energy in one setting for the first time since their inception anywhere in the world with ‘ZERO Gutai Kusama’. The ZERO and Gutai Groups have undergone a radical reappraisal over the past six years largely as a result of recent exhibitions at the New York Guggenheim Museum, Berlin Martin Gropius Bau and Amsterdam Stedelijk Museum amongst others. This escalation of interest is entirely understandable coming at a time where experts and collectors alike look to the influences behind the rapacious creativity we are seeing in the Contemporary Art World right now and in light of a consistently strong appetite for seminal works.

  • Francesca Pola Piero Manzoni and ZERO a European Creative Region
    Francesca Pola Piero Manzoni and ZERO A European Creative Region Electa The previous Quaderno published in this series — the Diary Man- Fondazione Piero Manzoni zoni wrote when he was still a young man — reveals the artist’s early inclination to travel. This third volume features Manzoni as a mature adult who forged friendships, relationships, collaborations and ex- change ties, building up an international network of artists. This book and video documentary is the result of research carried out by Francesca Pola — to whom our heartfelt thanks are due — who, in her turn, has travelled round Europe since 2006, often in the company of Rosalia Pasqualino di Marineo, the series editor, with the aim of meeting artists, visiting archives, tracking down documents and col- lecting material in order to reconstruct the fascinating geography of the new concept of art that emerged during this period. This new book and the related video documentary continue the “voyage” of discovery and research into the events of the artist’s life. We would like to express our gratitude to those who have made it possible with their support, to Hauser & Wirth, which has success- fully collaborated with the Fondazione Piero Manzoni since 2017, to the publishing house Electa, which has included us in its splendid “Pesci Rossi” series, and to all those who have generously made in- formation and materials available.

  • Than Zero Hans Bischoffshausen
    MORE THAN ZERO HANS BISCHOFFSHAUSEN Orangery 8 October 2015 to 14 February 2016 Hans Bischoffshausen No title, 1958 Oil, cell-cement on plywood, burned, 122 x 100 cm Private Collection, Wien, 2015 © Bildrecht, Vienna, 2015 MORE THAN ZERO HANS BISCHOFFSHAUSEN The Carinthian painter Hans Bischoffshausen, born in Feld am See in 1927, was one of the leading representatives of the Austrian post-war avant-garde of the 1950s and 1960s. His exhibitions in Venice, Milan, and Paris permitted Bischoffshausen to gain first experiences with the ZERO movement and monochrome painting. Along the lines of ZERO art’s purism, his initially gloomy, material-based art evolved into clear forms and structures. Bischoffshausen’s monochrome structural reliefs of the 1960s are an expression of his intensive preoccupation with the subject of script, language, and silence, by way of which he sought to grasp the world. In the first retrospective on Bischoffshausen to be presented by a public museum in Vienna, the Belvedere will be honouring the artist with its show More than ZERO - Hans BISCHOFFSHAUSEN from 8 October 2015 to 14 February 2016. The exhibition, installed at the Orangery, will not be limited to Bischoffshausen’s ZERO period, but will also highlight the links to and friendship with the Hildebrand Gallery in Klagenfurt and artists and companions from the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, and France. Bischoffshausen offered valuable support to Hildebrand and his wife when they founded their gallery and advised them on the selection of artists. This led to mutual artist friends, such as Bernard Aubertin, Lucio Fontana, and Hermann De Vries.

Un ulteriore intreccio è dato dall’attività di ricerca di chi scrive; i materiali reperiti durante gli ultimi tre anni di studio si aggiungono e si intersecano a documenti analizzati già in anni precedenti che a volte hanno visto la luce in contributi apparsi su volumi monografici, cataloghi di mostre o atti di convegni. Si spera dunque che sarà tollerato il frequente rinvio a contributi già editi dello scrivente. Una prima fonte cospicua di materiali è senza dubbio l’archivio della Fondazione Piero Manzoni di Milano, in parte ancora poco esplorato dai ricercatori.
