Sabine Gross: Show Time - Eine Archaologie der Zukunft

Show Time initially awakens thoughts of glittering entertainment, shiny surfaces, and fancy stunts - a world that does not really belong in a museum. But here the title is associated with something more literal: time being shown to us. In Sabine Gross's (*1961) exhibition at the Museum fur Vor- und Fruhgeschichte Saarbrucken, archaeological finds meet contemporary art for the first time. As a professor of sculpture, Gross has specialised for many years in this type of confrontation, practising a kind of "archaeology of the future" in which she presents recent significant works of art as potential archaeological objects. Published to accompany an exhibition Sabine Gross. Show Time - Eine Archaologie der Zukunft, which runs from 11 December 2020-7 November 2021 at Museum fur Vor- und Fruhgeschichte, Saarbrucken, Germany. Text in English and German.
