Intervals: Guggenheim Museum
March 26, 2009 | Levent OZLER
Intervals is an experimental new series conceived to take place in interstitial locations within the museum's exhibition spaces or beyond the physical confines of the building.
The program, which invites a diverse range of emerging artists to create new work for a succession of solo presentations, is inaugurated with a site-specific installation by Julieta Aranda that activates unlikely spaces within Frank Lloyd Wright's iconic rotunda.
Aranda's multimedia, project-based work has frequently focused on the dissemination of information and the agency of the individual in contemporary society.
In collaborative ventures with Anton Vidokle, such as a roving, freely available archive of videos and an operative store where artists could pawn their works, she has reinvented existing systems of commerce and circulation as part of an ongoing project to, in her own words, "generate viable propositions for alternative transactions of cultural capital."
For Intervals, Aranda has created a group of conceptually related works that challenge the idea of time as a linear progression marked by clocks, calendars, and other devices.
