With the rise of the classic avant-garde in the early twentieth century, a process of expanding the concept of the work of art began and has lasted to this day. Ever since, the issues of space and time in art have been discussed worldwide. This publication is a geographically specific narrative set within this development. It does not, however, depict a certain scene or art movement. Rather, it uses paintings, drawings, photographs, installations, and objects to make it possible to see the general meaning behind the concepts of working with space in relatively contemporary art. Numerous views of the featured works place an emphasis on the context-related approach in particular. In addition, comprehensive essays, an extensive index of works, and last, but not least, the exhibition itself round out an image of art in Switzerland and abroad.
