Advisory Committee BMW Guggenheim Lab Opens in Mumbai on Daniel Barenboim Elizabeth Diller December 9, 2012 Nicholas Humphrey Muchadeyi Ashton Masunda Enrique Peñalosa Juliet Schor Third Stop of Global Project Offers Free Programs throughout City That Rirkrit Tiravanija Explore Public Space and Urban Life Geetam Tiwari Wang Shi MUMBAI, December 6, 2012 – Opening in Mumbai from Sunday, December 9, 2012 through Sunday, January 20, 2013 and presented in collaboration with the Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum, the BMW Guggenheim Lab will offer free public programs and projects throughout the city under the theme ME=WE. On the third stop of this mobile initiative, the Mumbai Lab will address challenges and opportunities related to public space and the choices Mumbaikars make to balance individual (“me”) and community (“we”) interests.
Part urban think tank, community center, and public gathering space, the BMW Guggenheim Lab is a global project aimed at raising awareness of important urban challenges and inspiring an ongoing conversation in cities around the world. The six-week program at the Mumbai Lab’s central site on the rear plaza of the Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum will be presented from 3 to 9 pm, Thursday through Monday. Activities also will be offered on dedicated dates from 5 to 9 pm at additional Labs in five communities throughout the city:
Horniman Circle (Fort): December 13 to 17 Priyadarshini Park (Malabar Hill): December 20 to 23 Sambhaji Park (Mulund East): December 27 to 30 Batliboy Compound (Mill Worker Colony): January 3 to 7 Mahim Beach (Mahim): January 10 to 13
In addition to participating in free programs at the Lab sites, the public is invited
Solomon R. to visit the project website, join the dedicated online social communities, and Guggenheim Foundation subscribe to the Lab’s e-newsletter for the latest news. 345 Hudson Street, 12th floor New York, NY 10014 Phone +1 212 423 3500 bmwguggenheimlab.org
“The purpose of the BMW Guggenheim Lab is to explore urban life in the streets, and through the eyes of the people who live in cities,” said Richard Armstrong, Director of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and Foundation. “After launching the Lab in New York and taking it to Berlin, we are excited to bring this project to Mumbai, one of the most complex, populous, and culturally rich cities in the world.”
Mr. Philipp von Sahr, President, BMW Group India said, “There is no better place to host the BMW Guggenheim Lab in Mumbai than the Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum – and there is no better partner for this project than the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation. We fully realize that the Lab, after New York and Berlin, has already come a long way to connect the people of the world to jointly take on the challenges that lie ahead for all of us in the megacities of today and tomorrow. With this realization comes the knowledge that the reason for the Lab’s success is each and every one who actively participates in this project, be it online or on site. In this regard, we are already convinced that Mumbai will once again prove to be a welcoming metropolis for new ideas and perpetual innovation.”
“We are pleased to collaborate with the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and the BMW Group to bring the BMW Guggenheim Lab Mumbai to the Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum,” said Tasneem Mehta, Managing Trustee and Honorary Director, Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum. “We hope that our series of interactive family programs and participatory activities will inspire Mumbai’s youth to consider the future of urban life and their role in shaping it.”
Mumbai Lab Programs The Mumbai Lab’s programs will include design projects, participatory studies, tours, talks, workshops, film screenings, and cultural activities. Creative and hands-on activities will bring the public together with design professionals, city officials, and urban planners to address issues related to transportation, housing, water, and governance. In addition, city tours will explore the psychological effects of public space. Design projects include an open competition to develop solutions for a heavily congested traffic junction in Mumbai and an exploration of ways to refit infrastructure with new public space and pedestrian functions. Please visit the Lab’s online calendar for more details on individual programs.
“Our hope for the programming of the BMW Guggenheim Lab Mumbai is to continue to expand participation beyond the traditional museum audience,” said Mumbai Lab Curator David van der Leer. “Everyone who lives in a city has a stake in its future, and our programs are designed to bring people of all backgrounds and viewpoints together to address important issues related to urban life.”
Mumbai Lab Team Programs have been developed by the Mumbai Lab Team (Aisha Dasgupta,
Solomon R. Neville Mars, Trupti Amritwar Vaitla, and Héctor Zamora), an international, Guggenheim Foundation multidisciplinary group of innovators and experts, in coordination with 345 Hudson Street, 12th floor Guggenheim curators David van der Leer and Stephanie Kwai, the Dr. Bhau Daji New York, NY 10014 Phone +1 212 423 3500 bmwguggenheimlab.org
Lad Museum team, and locally based program consultants Swati Abhijit, Sourav Biswas, Vikram Doctor, Naresh Fernandes, Aaron Pereira, Surabhi Sharma, and Pooja Warier.
Mumbai Lab Architecture As in New York and Berlin, the physical structure of the Mumbai Lab is in character with its urban environment. Tokyo architects Atelier Bow-Wow, working with Mumbai architect Samir D’Monte, have designed an L-shaped structure made primarily of bamboo that is uniquely suited to the plaza site at the Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum and to the densely populated city, as well as a modified version of the Lab that will travel to the satellite sites throughout Mumbai.
Visitor Information All BMW Guggenheim Lab Mumbai programs are free and open to the public during operational hours. Most of the Lab’s programs and events will take place in English, and most will be accessible on a first-come, first-served basis; programs to be delivered in Hindi and Marathi will be noted on the Lab’s calendar, as will programs with limited space that require an RSVP.
About the BMW Guggenheim Lab The BMW Guggenheim Lab is a co-initiative of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation and the BMW Group. The BMW Guggenheim Lab is curated by David van der Leer and Maria Nicanor of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. The project’s blog, Lab | Log, features interviews with BMW Guggenheim Lab contributors and includes coverage of the Lab’s activities. The public is invited to join the BMW Guggenheim Lab’s dedicated social communities on Twitter (@BMWGuggLab and #BGLab), Facebook, YouTube, Flickr, and Foursquare.
About the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation Founded in 1937, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation is dedicated to promoting the understanding and appreciation of art, primarily of the modern and contemporary periods, through exhibitions, education programs, research initiatives, and publications. The global network that began in the 1970s when the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, was joined by the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Venice, has expanded to include the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao (opened 1997), the Deutsche Guggenheim in Berlin (1997- 2013), and the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi currently under development. Looking to the future, the Guggenheim Foundation continues to forge international collaborations that take contemporary art, architecture, and design beyond the walls of the museum. More information about the foundation can be found at guggenheim.org.
About BMW’s Cultural Commitment For more than 40 years now, the BMW Group has initiated and engaged in more than 100 cultural cooperations worldwide. The company places the main focus of its long-term commitment on modern and contemporary art, jazz and classical
Solomon R. music as well as architecture and design. The BMW Group has also been ranked Guggenheim Foundation industry leader in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes for the last eight years. In 345 Hudson Street, 12th floor 1972, three large-scale paintings were created by the artist Gerhard Richter New York, NY 10014 Phone +1 212 423 3500 bmwguggenheimlab.org
specifically for the foyer of the BMW Group's Munich headquarters. Since then, artists such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Olafur Eliasson, Jeff Koons, Zubin Metha, Daniel Barenboim and Anna Netrebko have cooperated with BMW. The company has also commissioned famous architects such as Karl Schwanzer, Zaha Hadid and Coop Himmelb(l)au to design important corporate buildings and plants. The BMW Group takes absolute creative freedom in all the cultural activities it is involved in for granted – as this is just as essential for groundbreaking artistic work as it is for major innovations in a successful business.

Dezember 2012 Nicholas Humphrey Muchadeyi Ashton Masunda Enrique Peñalosa Juliet Schor Dritte Station des globalen Projekts bietet stadtweit kostenfreie Rirkrit Tiravanija Veranstaltungen zur Erforschung von öffentlichem Raum und dem Leben Geetam Tiwari Wang Shi in Großstädten. MUMBAI, 6. Dezember 2012 – Vom 9. Dezember 2012 bis zum 20. Januar 2013 präsentiert das BMW Guggenheim Lab in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum ein kostenfreies, öffentlich zugängliches Programm unter dem Motto ME=WE (ICH=WIR) im gesamten Stadtgebiet Mumbais. Das Mumbai Lab als dritte Station dieser mobilen Initiative beschäftigt sich mit den Herausforderungen und Möglichkeiten, die im öffentlichen Raum entstehen. Darüber hinaus geht es bei diesem Lab-Zyklus um die Frage, wie es den Bewohnern der Metropole Mumbai gelingt, ein Gleichgewicht zwischen Einzel- (“ME”) und Gemeinschaftsinteressen (“WE”) zu schaffen. Das BMW Guggenheim Lab, eine Kombination aus Ideenschmiede, Gemeindezentrum und öffentlichem Forum, ist eine zukunftsweisende globale Initiative, die sich zur Aufgabe gestellt hat, die Herausforderungen des modernen städtischen Lebens zu untersuchen und dabei einen kontinuierlichen Dialog in den Städten dieser Welt zu initiieren. Das 6-wöchige Programm wird am Hauptveranstaltungsort des Lab neben dem Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum immer Donnerstag bis Montag von 15-21 Uhr angeboten. An weiteren fünf Veranstaltungsorten innerhalb der Stadt findet das Programm an ausgewählten Tagen von 17-21 Uhr statt. Horniman Circle (Fort): 13.-17. Dezember Priyadarshini Park (Malabar Hill): 20.-23. Dezember Solomon R. Sambhaji Park (Mulund East): 27.-30. Dezember Guggenheim Foundation Batliboy Compound (Mill Worker Colony): 3.-7. Januar 345 Hudson Street, 12th floor Mahim Beach (Mahim): 10.-13. Januar New York, NY 10014 Phone +1 212 423 3500 bmwguggenheimlab.org Zusätzlich zu den kostenfreien Teilnehmeraktivitäten an allen Lab- Veranstaltungsorten, sind Interessierte eingeladen, die Website des Projekts zu besuchen, Mitglied der Online-Communities zu werden oder den Newsletter zu abonnieren, und so über alle Projekte informiert zu werden. „Das BMW Guggenheim Lab hat sich zum Ziel gesetzt, urbanes Leben direkt vor Ort, in den Straßen und mit den Augen der Stadtbewohner zu sehen und zu erforschen”, so Richard Armstrong, Direktor der Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum und Foundation. „Nach dem Auftakt in New York und der Fortsetzung in Berlin freuen wir uns darauf, dieses Projekt nach Mumbai zu bringen, in eine der komplexesten, kulturell reichsten und einwohnerstärksten Metropolen der Welt.” “Für das BMW Guggenheim Lab in Mumbai ist kein besserer Ort denkbar als das Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum – und es gibt keinen besseren Partner für das Projekt als die Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation“, so Philipp von Sahr, Präsident, BMW Group Indien. „Nach Stationen in New York und Berlin vermag es das Lab umso mehr weltweit Menschen miteinander zu vernetzen, die sich gemeinsam den Herausforderungen der Megacities von heute und morgen stellen wollen. Dieser Feststellung folgt das Wissen darum, dass das Lab seinen Erfolg jedem einzelnen Teilnehmer – ob online oder vor Ort – zu verdanken hat. Wir sind der Überzeugung, dass Mumbai als Metropole neuer Ideen und steter Innovationen diesen Dialog begrüßen wird.“ „Wir freuen uns, das BMW Guggenheim Lab Mumbai in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum und der BMW Group am Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum auszurichten”, so Tasneem Mehta, geschäftsführenden Kuratorin und Direktorin des Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum. „Wir hoffen, dass die interaktiven Veranstaltungsreihen für Familien und die partizipativen Programmaktivitäten die Jugend Mumbais dazu inspirieren, die Zukunft des Lebens in Großstädten näher zu betrachten und sich ihrer eigenen Rolle dabei bewusst zu werden.” Mumbai Lab Programm Das Programm des Mumbai Lab umfasst Designprojekte, teilnehmerorientierte Forschungsstudien, Touren, Diskussionsrunden, Workshops, Filmvorführungen und kulturelle Aktivitäten. Kreative und partizipative Veranstaltungen dienen als Treffpunkt für Öffentlichkeit und professionelle Designer, Vertreter der Stadt und Städteplaner, um Themen wie Verkehr, Wohnungsbau, Wasserversorgung und Regierungsführung zu diskutieren. Außerdem wird auf Städtetouren der psychologische Effekt des öffentlichen Raumes erforscht. Zu den Designprojekten gehören ein öffentlicher Wettbewerb zur Lösungsfindung für eine überlastete Verkehrskreuzung in Mumbai sowie Überlegungen zur Neunutzung bestehender Infrastrukturen, um mehr öffentliche Plätze und Raum für Fußgänger zu schaffen. Weitere Informationen zu einzelnen Programmpunkten finden Sie in dem Veranstaltungskalender des Lab im Internet. Solomon R. „Wir hoffen, dass es uns mit dem Programm des BMW Guggenheim Lab Mumbai Guggenheim Foundation gelingt, Teilnehmer aus einem Publikum anzusprechen, das über die üblichen 345 Hudson Street, 12th floor Museumsbesucher hinaus geht”, so der Kurator des Mumbai Lab, David van der New York, NY 10014 Phone +1 212 423 3500 bmwguggenheimlab.org Leer. „Jeder einzelne Bewohner einer Stadt hat ein Interesse an deren Zukunft. Unser Programm hat den Anspruch, Menschen unterschiedlichster Hintergründe mit verschiedensten Ansichten zusammen zu bringen und so wichtige Themen des städtischen Lebens zu diskutieren.” Mumbai Lab Team Entwickelt wurde das Veranstaltungsprogramm vom Mumbai Lab Team (Aisha Dasgupta, Neville Mars, Trupti Amritwar Vaitla und Héctor Zamora), einem internationalem multidisziplinären Zusammenschluss aus Experten und Erneuerern, in enger Zusammenarbeit mit den Kuratoren des Guggenheim, David van der Leer und Stephanie Kwai, dem Team des Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museums sowie den ortsansässigen Beratern Sourav Biswas, Vikram Doctor, Naresh Fernandes, Aaron Pereira, Swati Sanghavi, Surabhi Sharma und Pooja Warier. Mumbai Lab Architektur Wie schon zuvor in New York und Berlin, wurde die Struktur des BMW Guggenheim Lab Mumbai mit Hinblick auf seine städtische Umgebung gestaltet. Gemeinsam mit dem Mumbaianischen Architekten Samir D’Monte hat das Tokyoter Architektenbüro Atelier Bow-Wow eine L-förmige Konstruktion hauptsächlich aus Bambus geschaffen, die speziell für den Platz am Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum und die dichtbesiedelte Stadt entwickelt wurde. Eine abgeänderte Version der Lab-Struktur wird an den unterschiedlichen Veranstaltungsorten innerhalb der Stadt aufgebaut. Besucherinformation Sämtliche Veranstaltungen des BMW Guggenheim Lab Mumbai sind kostenfrei und während der allgemeinen Öffnungszeiten der Öffentlichkeit frei zugänglich. Der Großteil aller Veranstaltungen findet auf Englisch statt, ganz nach dem Motto: „Wer zuerst kommt, mahlt zuerst“. Veranstaltungen auf Hindi und Marathi werden im Lab-Programm besonders ausgewiesen. Dies gilt auch für Veranstaltungen mit eingeschränktem Platzangebot, für die eine vorherige Anmeldung erforderlich ist. Das BMW Guggenheim Lab Das BMW Guggenheim Lab ist eine Kooperation der Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation und der BMW Group. Kuratoren des BMW Guggenheim Lab sind David van der Leer und Maria Nicanor vom Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. Interessierte sind eingeladen, die neuesten Aktivitäten und Interviews mit Lab- Teilnehmern über den offiziellen Blog, Lab | Log, zu verfolgen und Mitglied der Online-Communities Twitter (@BMWGuggLab und #BGLab), Facebook, YouTube, Flickr und Foursquare zu werden. Über die Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation Gegründet 1937, fördert die Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation mittels Ausstellungen, Forschungsarbeiten und Veröffentlichungen das Verständnis und die Wertschätzung von Kunst. Im Fokus stehen hierbei moderne und Solomon R. zeitgenössische Kunst. Seit den 1970er Jahren, nach dem Zusammenschluss Guggenheim Foundation 345 Hudson Street, 12th floor des Solomon R. Guggenheim Museums, New York, und der Peggy Guggenheim New York, NY 10014 Sammlung, Venedig, wird das weltweite Netzwerk kontinuierlich ausgebaut. Phone +1 212 423 3500 bmwguggenheimlab.org Seither kamen das Guggenheim Museum Bilbao (Eröffnung 1997), die Deutsche Guggenheim in Berlin (1997-2013), und das Guggenheim Abu Dhabi (derzeit im Aufbau) dazu. Auch in Zukunft wird die Guggenheim Foundation weiterhin internationale Gemeinschaftsprojekte initiieren, die zeitgenössische Kunst, Architektur und Design weit über die Grenzen der Museumsräume hinaustragen. Weitere Informationen über die Foundation finden Sie unter: guggenheim.org. Das kulturelle Engagement der BMW Group Seit mehr als 40 Jahren ist die internationale Kulturförderung der BMW Group mit inzwischen über 100 Projekten weltweit essentieller Bestandteil der Unternehmenskommunikation. Schwerpunkte des langfristig angelegten Engagements setzt die BMW Group in der zeitgenössischen und modernen Kunst sowie in klassischer Musik, Jazz, Architektur und Design. Die BMW Group ist zudem seit acht Jahren Branchenführer in den Dow Jones Sustainability Indizes. 1972 fertigte der Künstler Gerhard Richter drei großformatige Gemälde eigens für das Foyer der Münchener Konzernzentrale an. Seither haben Künstler wie Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Olafur Eliasson, Jeff Koons, Zubin Metha, Daniel Barenboim und Anna Netrebko mit BMW zusammengearbeitet. Außerdem beauftragte das Unternehmen Architekten wie Karl Schwanzer, Zaha Hadid und Coop Himmelb(l)au mit der Planung wichtiger Unternehmensgebäude. Bei allem Kulturengagement erachtet die BMW Group die absolute Freiheit des kreativen Potentials als selbstverständlich – denn sie ist in der Kunst genauso Garant für bahnbrechende Werke wie für Innovationen in einem Wirtschaftsunternehmen.

Die Sammlung des Museums illustriert die Geschichte und kulturelle Entwicklung der Stadt Mumbai und ist auf die dekorative Handwerkskunst Indiens spezialisiert. Die ausgesuchten Exponate der Sammlung sind herausragende Beispiele für frühe indische Kunstpraxis und Handwerkskunst. Die Restauration des Museums, gefördert durch die Stiftung Jamnalal Bajaj Foundation und der indischen Organisation zum Schutz des Kunst- und Kulturerbes, INTACH, erhielt im Jahr 2005 den Preis Excellence for Cultural Heritage Conservation der UNESCO. Seitdem ist es dem Museum gelungen, sein Programm beständig zu erweitern und zahlreiche Ausstellungen bedeutender indischer Künstler zu zeigen. In Zusammenarbeit mit internationalen Institutionen stellt das Museum außerdem zeitgenössische Kunst an öffentlichen Plätzen in Mumbai aus. Diese Ausstellungen sind Teil einer weitreichenden Initiative des Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Mumbai City Museums, das sich zum Ziel gemacht hat, ein öffentliches Diskussionsforum für zeitgenössische, urbane Themen zu schaffen.

Balancing individual (“me”) and community (“we”) interests, the ME=WE program is developed to offer new insights for Mumbai and, potentially, cities around the world. Lab programs, initiated by the Mumbai Lab Team and developed by local consultants and Guggenheim curators, explore challenges and opportunities related to public space and the choices Mumbaikars make to balance individual and community needs in this bustling metropolitan area of more than 20 million people. The programs will be presented at the Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum in Byculla for six continuous weeks, with additional activities at satellite locations throughout Mumbai. Mumbai Programming Programs and events for the Lab are presented in six series— some highly professional, some highly entertaining: Meet in the Middle brings together public and private stakeholders, from grassroots thinkers to city officials. Conversations, panel discussions, and offsite visits will address and connect six themes: transportation, space, housing, environment, investment, and participatory urban planning. Bridging encourages people with an interest in the same field, ranging from sports to cooking, from professional Solomon R. experts to laypersons, to share knowledge and interact Guggenheim Foundation with each other through playful workshops and games. 345 Hudson Street, 12th floor City Dreams, presented by the Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum New York, NY 10014 Phone +1 212 423 3500 bmwguggenheimlab.org 4 and located at the museum and satellite locations, offers interactive family events on the historic development of the cultural landscape of Mumbai and creative hands-on activities reflecting the artistic vision of Mumbai’s youth and a future urban landscape. Film Screenings offer classic and contemporary Bollywood favorites, documentaries, animation, and experimental works paired with related discussions about topics such as the search for individual space in an intense-urban environment. Food for Thought uses food and drink as a catalyst for conversation about the cultures reflected on the tables and streets of Mumbai, addressing local and global issues of nutrition, food production, food security, and safety. Unwrapping Mumbai offers new insights about how Mumbaikars adapt to their surroundings through high- energy, interactive variety shows and party sessions that combine talks, music, theater, storytelling, and tours to explore the city’s kaleidoscope of perspectives. Projects The Lab has begun a series of participatory research studies and city design projects throughout the city of Mumbai to inform future urban designs in the city and elsewhere. They include the following, as well as others to be announced: Your Place, My Place, or Our Public Space? Privacy and Spaces in Mumbai (research project) asks Mumbaikars to contribute to an ongoing research project to reveal how the community perceives privacy. This study, which began during the summer of 2012, is conducted with Partners for Urban Knowledge, Action and Research (PUKAR), an independent Mumbai research collective. Privacy and Spaces in Mumbai, a Visual Survey (research project) investigates, through participatory mapping and photography tours, where Mumbaikars find or create personal space. This project is conducted with the Design Cell at the Kamla Raheja Vidyanidji Institute for Architecture and Environmental Studies (KRVIA). Kala Nagar Traffic Junction Competition (design project), held in collaboration with the Mumbai Environmental Social Network (MESN) and administered by Lord Cultural Resources, asks students and professionals to re-imagine one of the city’s busiest transportation hubs. Land Link (design project) explores ways to refit Mumbai’s Solomon R. existing water pipe infrastructure as a new auto rickshaw Guggenheim Foundation highway and a pedestrian bridge between different 345 Hudson Street, 12th floor neighborhoods, creating a large public domain. New York, NY 10014 Phone +1 212 423 3500 bmwguggenheimlab.org 5 Mumbai Stacked City (research project) introduces the Stacked Population Index (SPI) as an accurate depiction of Mumbai’s density, precisely where it occurs, and how it reflects living conditions. Transformers invites the public to adorn the Lab on the rear plaza of the Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum each week using traditional and contemporary Indian artistry and craft. Testing, Testing! Mumbai (research project), a series of tours developed by Colin Ellard of the University of Waterloo and also run at the New York and Berlin Labs, explores the psychological effects of urban spaces near the Lab on the rear plaza of the Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum.
