0,0,0 – Portfolio Presentation


24. Januar 2026 – 04. April 2026

Besichtigungen und Führungen sind jeden Samstag zwischen 12:00 und 18:00 Uhr möglich.

Exactly 110 years ago, in the winter of 1915, Kazimir Malevich presented his Black Square in Petrograd, marking the most radical rupture in art history. By hanging it in the upper corner of the room—the traditional place of the sacred icon—he declared it the “zero point of form.” It signaled the end of representation and the beginning of pure feeling.Today, “black” has received a new definition. On our screens, black is no longer a pigment but a code: RGB 0,0,0. It is the state of absolute absence of light, the switched-off pixel. The project 0,0,0 asks a crucial question: What does Concrete Art mean in the age of the algorithm? It is a dialogue between Malevich’s spiritual void and the technological void of code.Berlin as the Center of a Global Lingua Franca. The project underscores the unique role of Berlin as a vibrant center of this development. Artists such as Robin RhodeJeewi Lee,Jurgen Ostarhild, and Katja Strunz, who operate from Berlin, meet international peers such as Alfredo Jaar (Chile), Elias Crespin (Venezuela), and Nima Nabavi (Dubai).This assembly makes it clear: non-objective art is today a global lingua franca. From the precise grids of the Zurich School to the fragile materiality of Korean charcoal and the algorithmic codes of the present, the positions gathered here function as individual “lines of code” within a universal system that transcends cultural and ideological divides.The project is led by art historian Timo Niemeyer (*1983 in Espoo, Finland). Following his acclaimed retrospective on Finnish Constructivist Lars-Gunnar Nordström (2019), Niemeyer returns to the Miettinen Collection to bridge the gap between the historical “0.10” exhibition and the digital future.
