 금요일 5시45분 부터는 $1불만 내고 들어가도 되는데다가, 금요일 저녁에만 '제니 홀처'의 작업을 하기때문에 일부러 저녁때에 맞춰 찾아갔다. 

글은 계속해서 구겐하임 미술관 건물에 흐른다.  

FOR THE GUGGENHEIM

September 26–December 31, 2008

From September 2005 to July 2008, the Guggenheim Museum was enclosed in scaffolding while a team of architects, structural engineers, and conservators undertook a comprehensive condition assessment and restoration of Frank Lloyd Wright's landmark building in preparation for its 50th anniversary celebration in 2009. While in good structural condition, the building required the removal of eleven coats of paint, filling of exterior cracks, treatment of corroded steel structures, and repair and reinforcement of the concrete.

The restoration was initiated in 2003 when former chairman of the Guggenheim Board of Trustees, Peter B. Lewis, pledged a significant gift to the project. Additional grants from the State of New York, as well as many individual and corporate sponsors, also made the restoration a reality.

In celebration of the restoration and as a tribute to Mr. Lewis, the foundation commissioned artist Jenny Holzer to create a site-specific light projection entitled For the Guggenheim for the facade of the newly restored museum. This video presents an opportunity to view an excerpt from Holzer’s transformative work, which casts large-scale texts directly onto Frank Lloyd Wright’s curving architecture. Suffused with a play of light and changing language, the building and its surroundings become an environment for looking, discussion, and gathering.

This commission extends the museum’s ongoing commitment to Holzer’s work, established in her 1989 survey at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and in works commissioned for the Peggy Guggenheim Collection and Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. For more than thirty years, Holzer’s incisive work has drawn on the explosive power of the written word. Incorporating strategies of mass-communication and the politics of public space, her street posters, LED displays, carved-stone benches, and recent paintings tackle some of the most pressing issues of our time. Text-based light projections have been central to Holzer’s practice since 1996. Akin to credits rolling at the end of a film, the projected language allows her to work demonstratively with the ephemeral. Her projections have taken place in four continents, fourteen countries, and more than thirty cities including Florence, Rome, Rio de Janeiro, Venice, Oslo, Buenos Aires, Berlin, Paris, Singapore, San Diego, and New York City. From Mies van der Rohe’s Neue National Galerie in Berlin and I.M. Pei’s Pyramide du Louvre in Paris to the New York Public Library and Rockefeller Center in New York, Holzer’s light events have reimagined and paid tribute to iconic architectural spaces throughout the world.
