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 für Vor- und Frühgeschichte Saarbrücken, 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 Archäologie der Zukunft, which runs from 11 December 2020-7 November 2021 at Museum für Vor- und Frühgeschichte, Saarbrücken, Germany.
