The Historical Box

Curated by Mara McCarthy

19 November - 21 January 2012

Zürich, Hubertus Exhibitions

Hauser & Wirth Zürich is proud to present 'The Historical Box', a group exhibition curated by Mara McCarthy, director of The Box, a Los Angeles gallery whose ambitious programme focuses on presenting artists that have previously had little formal recognition in the American art world. The exhibition features sculpture, drawing and photography by influential American artists including John Altoon, Judith Bernstein, Simone Forti, Wally Hedrick, Robert Mallary, Barbara T. Smith and Stan VanDerBeek, and will be accompanied by artist talks, performances and film screenings. 'The Historical Box' brings together a collection of works created during some of the most turbulent political and social times in American history. These works are introduced to a new audience, bringing them back into today's 'art consciousness' and reaffirming their relevance in contemporary society.
