Minimalism: Space. Light. Object. (2018–2019) looks at the emergence, development, and legacies of Minimalism from the 1950s to the present day. It considers how artists in Asia, the United States, and Europe have explored ideas of presence and absence, often informed by Asian philosophies such as Zen Buddhism. The exhibition features major works by over sixty artists, including Donald Judd, Mark Rothko, Mona Hatoum, Anish Kapoor, John McCracken, Ai Weiwei, Olafur Eliasson, and Haegue Yang.
Led by National Gallery Singapore, the exhibition features over 150 works from across four continents that explore the history and legacy of this groundbreaking art movement, which continues to inform a wide range of art forms and practitioners across the world today.
The exhibition is accompanied by a richly illustrated catalogue featuring essays by the exhibition curators and international contributors, alongside conversations with artists, opening a forum for contemporary readings of this dynamic, multivalent, and pivotal movement.
