INSTALLATIONS II: VIDEO FROM THE GUGGENHEIM COLLECTIONS
March 03, 2009 - January 17, 2010
The seven works presented offer a glimpse of the diverse range of themes and styles that occupy artists working with video installation today.
Attesting to the museum's ongoing commitment to this vital field of contemporary art, all works have been acquired by the Guggenheim during the past five years.
Introduction
Following the 2008 exhibition Installations: Selections from the Guggenheim Collections, this presentation investigates the ways in which contemporary artists have used video to create sites of immersion and discovery. From its first uses in the late 1960s, video has played an important role in artists' examinations of self and society, providing a unique means of harnessing real time and space that has become increasingly sophisticated as technologies have advanced over the decades.
