Robert Irwin Scrim Veil (1977) at the Whitney
Scrim veil—Black rectangle—Natural light, Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (1977), by California Light and Space artist,Robert Irwin is a large-scale installation that uniquely engages the Whitney’s iconic Breuer building and the natural light that emanates from the large window in the fourth floor gallery space. Part of the Whitney’s collection, the work was made specifically for the Museum’s fourth floor. It has not been exhibited since its 1977 debut, a pivotal moment that would set the course for Irwin’s subsequent artistic practice.
Protocols, Obsessions, Positions at Storefront for Art and Architecture
POP: Protocols, Obsessions, Positions, investigates what constitutes a position in architecture today and how that might be generated through the architect’s drawing. The exhibition presents 30 original drawings of the Storefront gallery space at 97 Kenmare Street by an international group of architects asked to go “from protocols, to obsessions, to positions.”

James Turrell transforms the Guggenheim
James Turrell’s first exhibition in a New York museum since
1980 focuses on the artist’s groundbreaking explorations of perception, light,
color, and space, with a special focus on the role of site-specificity in his
practice. At its core is Aten Reign (2013), a major new project that recasts the
Guggenheim rotunda as an enormous volume filled with shifting artificial and
natural light. One of the most dramatic transformations of the museum ever
conceived, the installation reimagines Frank Lloyd Wright’s iconic
architecture—its openness to nature, graceful curves, and magnificent sense of
space—as one of Turrell’s Skyspaces, referencing in particular his magnum opus
the Roden Crater Project (1979– )
Fragments: Renzo Piano at the Gagosian
“Fragments,” is an exhibition of more than thirty years of
architectural projects by the Renzo
Piano Building Workshop. Equal parts library reading room, school classroom,
and natural history gallery, the exhibition consists of twenty-four tabletop
displays of scale models, drawings, photographs, and video. Each tells the
involved, inspiring story of the design process of a single building, from
museums, libraries, and airports to private residences. Among these projects are
Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; The Menil Collection, Houston; Kansai
International Airport, Osaka; Fondation Beyeler, Basel; Jean-Marie Tjibaou
Cultural Center, Nouméa, New Caledonia; The New York Times Building, New York;
Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center, Athens; and the Whitney Museum’s
new building in downtown Manhattan. A complete list and description of all
exhibited projects will be available at the exhibition.
