By Way Of: Material and Motion in the Guggenheim Collection

A large woven blanket covers the floor of a gallery space. One half of the blanket is rendered in red, blue, and green thread, while the other half is rendered in shade of yellow. Several small mound-like protrusions occur just off center of either side of the blanket. On walls above the blanket hangs a light blue canvas of repeated yellow rectangles of varying opacity with faint streaks of darker blue and red, a pair of blue jeans with one hole cut from each knee, and a white gallery box holding a round white mass.

Description

This exhibition explores how artists moved beyond traditional studio practices and materials to reinvigorate art with “extramural” modes of working.
