Sabine Gro

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 Gro's (*1961) exhibition at the Museum fr Vor- und Frhgeschichte Saarbrcken, archaeological finds meet contemporary art for the first time. As a professor of sculpture, Gro 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 Gro. Show Time Eine Archologie der Zukunft, which runs from 11 December 2020-7 November 2021 at Museum fr Vor- und Frhgeschichte, Saarbrcken, Germany.
