Project for the Solomon Guggenheim Museum (NY) (2010-04-28) “Contemplating the Void: Interventions in the Guggenheim” is an event organised as the museum celebrates the 50th anniversary of its Frank Lloyd Wright-designed home on the East Side of New-York. For this new exhibition, the Guggenheim commissioned 200 proposals from artists, designers, and architects to fill the central void. Through April 28, the proposals are on the walls of the Guggenheim, a set of dreams and interventions.
