Haim Steinbach: Once Again the World is Flat: Kunsthalle Zurich

This expansive exhibition at Kunsthalle Zürich presents the work of Haim Steinbach (born in Israel in 1944, lives and works in New York) from the early 1970s to the present day. The show focuses on Haim Steinbach’s contextual work with objects. Beginning with the square frame of the paintings of the early 1970s, the work moves on to encompass architectural settings. Having incorporated objects from local collections in his exhibitions at the Center for Curatorial Studies Bard Hessel Museum in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York, in 2013, with which the Kunsthalle Zürich is collaborating for this exhibition, and at the Serpentine Galleries in London in Spring 2014, Haim Steinbach also integrates specific objects and art-works from Zürich art collections into his “Displays.”
