This event has ended.

Zeit Contemporary Art, in collaboration with Edelman Arts, presents the exhibition Minimal Means: Concrete Inventions in the US, Brazil and Spain.

Curated by Joan Robledo-Palop, Minimal Means focuses on a group of artists whose creative careers evolved in the mid 1950s and 1960s in the US, Brazil and Spain. The exhibition showcases thirty works by seventeen artists who have never before been juxtaposed in an exhibition and explores seemingly simultaneous ideas and methodologies, which actually developed independently and organically.

This is the first exhibit to bring together North American artists Josef and Anni Albers, Agnes Martin, Donald Judd, Dan Flavin, Josef Albers, Sol LeWitt and Robert Mangold, with counterparts from Europe and Latin America: Jorge Oteiza, Manuel Barbadillo, Elena Asins, Jordi Teixidor, José María Yturralde, Mira Schendel, Willys de Castro, Lygia Clark, Lygia Pape and Hélio Oiticica. These artists created art defined by geometry, clarity and minimalism, reducing the formal aspects of the work of art to a minimal set of elements with endless possibilities. They not only expanded the boundaries of art, but also the limits of the artistic object and the ways it relates to authorship and production, as well as spectatorship and perception.
