New York, Solomon R. Guggenheim

"The exhibition as an exhibition" could sum up the idea behind this show. It spotlights new, site-specific installations by a bunch of loosely affiliated artists that emerged in the 1990s; what unites them is how they have chosen to focus on the nature of the exhibition in their work. Rather than making individual objects, they have all sometimes preferred to utilize the exhibition environment to produce an all-encompassing installation – be it a film, novel, social space or performance.

On view are projects by Angela Bulloch, Maurizio Cattelan, Liam Gillick, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Douglas Gordon, Carsten Höller, Pierre Huyghe, Jorge Pardo, Philippe Parreno and Rirkrit Tiravanija. It was Gillick who came up with the title, inspired by the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze, to suggest the idea of a coherent space comprising multiple, shifting views. The works are intended to expand, evolve and change over the show's two-and-half-months duration. Curated by Nancy Spector, it's a thought-provoking reflection on how today's artists approach the nature of the exhibition space.
