liefujishiro: retype-jnthed: meatghost: art-and-bob: sympathyfortheartgallery: jennyeagleton: caseyagollan: Untitled by Anish Kapoor (2009) BLDGBLOG has a great post, full of images, on an upcoming Guggenheim exhibition called Contemplating the Void. New York’s Guggenheim Museum “invited more than two hundred artists, architects, and designers to imagine their dream interventions in the space.” In this exhibition of ideal projects, certain themes emerge, including the return to nature in its primordial state, the desire to climb the building, the interplay of light and space, the interest in diaphanous effects as a counterpoint to the concrete structure, and the impact of sound on the environment. These and many other images will be on display when the exhibition, Contemplating the Void, opens February 12, 2010. As a (too good to be coincidental) prelude to this exhibition, the space has already been transformed by Tino Sehgal, whose current exhibition has removed all of the visual art from the rotunda. There is literally nothing that screams ART! on the walls or in the void. However, if you stare from the top down, you will notice one unmistakeable couple that can’t stop making out and the rhythmic pattern of people-in-conversation ambling slowly upwards.
