Nick Cave: Forothermore Guggenheim Museum 2022-12-15 | “I know that I am here to use art as this vehicle for change.

Sin Wai Kin: the story changes the body changes (repeating) Guggenheim Museum 2022-11-22 | For the 2022 Asian Art Circle Presents program, the Guggenheim hosted the premiere of a newly commissioned performance by Sin Wai Kin. Conceived specifically for the museum’s Peter B. Lewis Theater space, "the story changes the body changes (repeating)" continues the artist’s exploration of storytelling as a means to interrogate binaries, in this case between reality and fiction. Drawing on traditional roles in Cantonese opera, along with contemporary drag performance as embodied speculative fiction, the narrative unfolds through circular dialogue between two characters: “The Storyteller,” Sin’s iconic personification of the universe as a newscaster, and “Change,” a brand new being who made their debut at the program. The performance examines how by crafting fantasy it is possible to manifest new realities.

Wearing Masks: The Performance of Identity in Contemporary Art Guggenheim Museum 2022-04-21 | Using masks as both props and metaphors, Gillian Wearing’s photographs, videos, and installations explore the performance of identity, an act that we all participate in on a quotidian basis as a means to various ends. As RuPaul famously stated, “We’re all born naked, and the rest is drag.” Some of us adopt specific affects, mannerisms, or styles of dress to authentically signal to the outside world how we feel within. For others, assimilation is a vital act of self-preservation. Often the identities we present will shift to accommodate the social or physical spaces that we occupy. More nefariously, as with the infamous Anna Delvey, and “Tinder Swindler” Simon Leviev, the performance can be a manipulative con, “faking it until you make it.” In our present landscape saturated by social media, everyone has the opportunity to present themselves as a finely curated brand.On the occasion of the exhibition "Gillian Wearing: Wearing Masks," the Guggenheim will gather a virtual panel of artists to discuss how they each explore the central theme of identity performance within their creative practices. Jennifer Blessing, Senior Curator, Photography, will provide an introductory presentation contextualizing the conversation within Wearing’s practice. The panelists will include Farah Al Qasimi, Malik Gaines, and Colette Lumiere. The program is organized and moderated by Dr. Ksenia M. Soboleva, Andrew W. Mellon Gender and LGBTQ+ History Fellow at the Center for Women’s History, New-York Historical Society Museum and Library.The program is part of the Elaine Terner Cooper Education Fund Conversations with Contemporary Artists series.About the speakersFarah Al Qasimi is an artist based in Brooklyn and Dubai, who works in photography, video, and performance. She teaches at Bard College in New York. Her work has been featured in exhibitions at Public Art Fund, New York; Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis; Jameel Arts Centre, Dubai; List Visual Arts Center, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge; and Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto.Malik Gaines is an artist, writer, and composer based in New York. He has collaborated for two decades with Jade Gordon and Alexandro Segade as the performance group My Barbarian, presenting their work at the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, among many other institutions, galleries and performances spaces. A twenty-year survey of their work was presented at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, in 2021. Gaines is co-artistic director of The Industry, an experimental opera company in Los Angeles. He is the author of many articles and essays about art and performance and the book "Black Performance on the Outskirts of the Left" (NYU Press, 2017), and is currently associate professor of performance studies at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts.Colette Lumiere is a pioneering artist who first became recognized for her enigmatic street art, and soon after her elaborate living tableaux and environments. Her vast enduring body of work has innovated and defied the categories of installation, performance, photography, and painting from the early 1970s through the present. Widely known as Colette, she began using a series of personas in 1978 to create her art, including Justine (for the Reverse Pop Series, 1978–83), Mata Hari and the Stolen Potatoes (1984–86), Countess Reichenbach (1986–91), the House of Olympia (1991–2001), and Lumiere (2001– ). Colette’s artwork is in the collections of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; Brooklyn Museum; The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, Ridgefield, Connecticut; Museum Ludwig, Cologne; Kuntsmuseum Wolfsburg, Wolfsburg, Germany; and Berlinische Galerie, Berlin, among others. The exhibition "Notes on Baroque Living: Colette and Her Living Environment, 1972–1983," featured seminal works from the first decade of her ever-evolving career, was on view at Company Gallery, New York, earlier this year.Dr. Ksenia M. Soboleva is a New York–based writer and art historian specializing in queer art and culture. She holds a Ph.D. from the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University, with a dissertation titled “Fragments: Art, AIDS, and Lesbian Identity in the United States.” Soboleva has curated exhibitions at Candice Madey Gallery, La MaMA Galleria, and Assembly Room, all in New York.

Conversation: Carlos Martiel and Pablo Leon de la Barra Guggenheim Museum 2022-03-27 | Cuban artist Carlos Martiel creates installation and performance works during which his lone body undergoes ritualistic acts, pain, and extreme physical stress. While Martiel’s socially engaged work challenges systems of violence, displacement, and immigration, the artist’s body under duress functions as a conduit for the histories and lived experiences of the Black body. These endurance projects act as a commentary on oppressive and racist power structures, cultural hegemony, and global geopolitics.In this talk, curator Pablo Leon de la Barra joins Martiel for a discussion about his artistic practice and performance at the Guggenheim Museum, "Monumento II (Monument II, 2021)."Content warning: please be advised, this video contains images with nudity and may not be suitable for all viewers.

Collecting Abstraction: The Multiple Narratives of Modernism Guggenheim Museum 2021-12-16 | Why is it important for the Guggenheim Museum to collect and preserve art?To Guggenheim Museum founder Solomon R. Guggenheim and founding director Hilla Rebay abstraction was not just a radical art form. They also saw its potential as an immensely powerful tool for better understanding and changing the world. When Rebay introduced Vasily Kandinsky’s work to Guggenheim around 1929, she set the course of Guggenheim’s collection, and ultimately the collecting legacy of the museum he would later establish. The centrality of abstraction to the art institution’s approach to collecting is the heart of a new Guggenheim documentary, "Collecting Abstraction: The Multiple Narratives of Modernism.""Collecting Abstraction" journeys through the decades-long history of abstraction in the Guggenheim’s collection and iconic exhibitions, illustrating an enduring commitment to the artists of our time, the multiple perspectives art offers, and the conversations artworks can stimulate. Through open and honest dialogue with various voices from the Guggenheim Museum, "Collecting Abstraction" demonstrates the ways in which the founding principles of the Guggenheim’s collection continue to guide its present and future.Learn more about the Guggenheim collection at guggenheim.org/collection-online.
Idris Khan: Conversations with Contemporary Artists (Complete Version) Guggenheim Museum 2021-12-01 | Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum For more information on public programs, please visit http://www.guggenheim.org/publicprograms The Elaine Terner Cooper Education Fund: Conversations with Contemporary Artists By using dated, passé, or quasi-extinct stylistic devices, subject matter, and technologies, much contemporary photography and video embodies a melancholic longing for an otherwise irrrecuperable past. The "Haunted" exhibition documents this obsession, examining myriad ways photographic imagery is incorporated into recent practice, and, in the process, underscores the unique power of reproductive media. On the occasion of the exhibition, select artists featured in "Haunted" discuss the themes of their work. Curators introduce the programs and receptions, including an exhibition viewing, with the artists to follow. Idris Khan Wednesday, April 28, 6:30 pm Idris Khan (b. 1978, Birmingham, England) repeatedly turns to the work of twentieth-century photographers who have explored the notion of the archive. His "Homage to Bernd Becher" compresses an entire group of the photographs by Bernd and Hilla Becher into a single, multi-layered composition, paying tribute to the sheer labor and singular vision of the original creators while offering a melancholy reminder of the passage of time. Support for educational activities including public programs is provided in part by The Edith and Frances Mulhall Achilles Memorial Fund, The Engelberg Foundation, William Randolph Hearst Foundation, Jane A. Lehman and Alan G. Lehman Foundation, New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, The Overbrook Foundation, and the Museum's Education Committee.
