Tracy Williams, Ltd. presents a group exhibition, Zero Zone, curated by David Hunt.

“Space Age and Stone Age attitudes overlap to form the Zero-Zone, wherein the spaceman meets the brontosaurus in a Jurassic swamp on Mars.” -Robert Smithson

The exhibition Zero Zone takes Robert Smithson’s oft-cited reformulation of time as a crystal structure whose matrix expands rhizomatically as its launching point. Whether describing the planetarium as Pascal’s infinite sphere whose center is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere as a theatrical stage for “vague disorders and contingencies,” or the practice of art as a “vast mining enterprise, with innumerable shafts, most of them closed down,” Smithson, in a language of willful confusion and hyperbolic prophecy, began his lifelong critique of Hegelian linear time and its attendant illusion of temporal development that has come to structure all of art history.
