“Zero is a group of artists founded by Heinz Mack and
Otto Piene….” — Wikipedia
“The title ZERO was the result of months of search
and was finally found more or less by chance.
From the beginning we looked upon the term
not as an expression of nihilism – or a dada-like gag,
but as a word indicating a zone of silence and of
pure possibilities for a new beginning as at the
count-down when rockets take off- zero is the
incommensurable zone in which the old state turns
into the new.”
