Pörschmann, Dirk & Mattijs Visser: - 4 3 2 1 Zero.

Title: 4 3 2 1 Zero.
Description: 2012, (21 x 20 cm), 552 pp., numerous ills. (colour , duplex & b/w), hardcover The first two ZERO magazines published 1958 by Heinz Mack and Otto Piene in Düsseldorf became a manifesto that signaled an artistic new orientation for postwar artists. At a time in which people dream of astronomic and cosmonautic adventures, the Zero artists - as Otto Piene saw it - were interested in light, the elements, fire, air currents, the unlimited possibilities for designing a better, light-infused world in which technology and nature are reconciled. Because of the large positive resonance in the art world, Mack and Piene conceived of a third, 300-page edition, which was published on July 5th 1961, parallel to a spectacular action at Galerie Schmela, Düsseldorf. The three issues of the ZERO magazine, out of print for three decades, will be reprinted by the Zero Foundation Düsseldorf and accompanied by a fourth volume containing the results of a research project and a, till now, unpublished text by Udo Kultermann, as well as photographs of a contemporary witness, Manfred Tischer.[ZERO]
