In-Between Days: Works on View (March 19-April 19 2021)
Learn more about the five videos playing in the rotunda April 4–19, 2021, as part of the presentation of In-Between Days. Opening one year after the Guggenheim closed due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, this screening program highlights recent acquisitions that have gained new resonance during this time of uncertainty and upheaval. For the first time ever, a monumental screen hangs in the center of a darkened and otherwise empty rotunda, with different works projected one after another. This theatrical presentation creates a unique opportunity for collective (yet safely distanced) viewing and offers visitors a new way of experiencing the museum’s iconic architecture. The videos featured in In-Between Days explore themes of isolation, confrontation, and occupation—states of being that have come to set the terms of daily life for many. Several portray solitary or paired figures engaged in moments of struggle, perseverance, or introspection. Some consider ways that historical systems of power are embedded in architecture and the land. Others depict realms of fantasy, offering moments of respite through dreamlike or abstract images. The selection of videos reflects the global diversity of the Guggenheim’s collecting practices over the past decade. All works are presented here for the first time in the museum’s galleries. Artists include Meriem Bennani, Ali Cherri, Shezad Dawood, Sky Hopinka, Steffani Jemison, Jesper Just, Liz Magic Laser and Simone Leigh in collaboration with Alicia Hall Moran, Lawrence Lek, Beatriz Santiago Muñoz, and Lucy Raven. In-Between Days is organized by Nat Trotman, Curator, Performance and Media. https://www.guggenheim.org/in-between-days-video-from-the-guggenheim-collection
