Now’s the Time: Recent Acquisitions
Co-curator
Now’s the Time: Recent Acquisitions brought together recent acquisitions of the Guggenheim Museum that share formal and thematic concerns that cut across traditional aesthetic categories. Whether embodying the fragmented modes of perception engendered by online worlds, or insisting on the meditative space of painting and the poetics of objects, the works on view map the contours of a rapidly changing contemporary art landscape.
It was curated by Carmen Hermo and Lauren Hinkson (Associate Curator, Guggenheim Museum).
