One of the highlights of the year’s activity was the art program, which offered a thought-provoking exploration of art from the 20th and 21st centuries. We covered the interwar period in Chaos and Classicism: Art in France, Italy, Germany, and Spain, 1918–1936; in The Luminous Interval we engaged in a profound examination of the human condition through contemporary works from the Dimitris Daskalopoulos Collection, one of the most important in the world; Painterly Abstraction, 1949–1969: Selections from the Guggenheim Collections took us on a fascinating journey through the affinities between American and European abstract painting; we witnessed an unprecedented dialogue between two great masters of modern and View of the museum’s north facade with Anish Kapoor’s Tall Tree and the Eye and Daniel Buren’s Red Arches in the background contemporary sculpture, Brancusi and Serra; and we ended the year with a new selection of pieces from the Guggenheim Bilbao Collection that illustrate the artistic debate which took place in Europe in the 1970s and 80s. One of the most significant statistical figures of 2011 was the number of visitors received—962,358 in total, representing a slight yet important increase from the previous year—with the proportion of foreign visitors stable at 62%. Meanwhile, our This year was also marked by several important additions to the collection.

INTRODUCTION 8 9 José Manuel Ballester. The Raft of the Medusa (La Balsa de la Medusa), 2010. Photograph on canvas, 491 x 717 cm. Single edition Guggenheim Bilbao Museoa In 2011 the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao collection expanded thanks to the acquisition of Alex Katz’s series of paintings entitled Smiles (1994), the works Home (1999) by Mona Hatoum and Untitled (2008) by Doris Salcedo, as well as the donations of How are you going to behave? A kitchen cat speaks (2009) by Liam Gillick and three photographs by José Manuel Ballester from his series Hidden Spaces (Espacios ocultos). Thus, by the end of the year covered in this report, the Bilbao holdings comprised 124 works by 70 different artists, spanning the period from 1950 to the present. The incorporation of Alex Katz’s pictorial series Smiles marks the artist’s debut in the Guggenheim Collections, where it will Alex Katz. (left to right): Ursula Smiles 2; Ada Smiles; Belinda Smiles; Yvonne Smiles; Katryn Smiles; Karen Smiles; Lauren Smiles; Lysa Smiles; Ahn Smiles; Alba Smiles; Jessica Smiles; from the series Smiles, 1993. Oil on linen, 243.8 x 182.9 cm each. Guggenheim Bilbao Museoa join and reinforce the existing selection of works by American creators who began working in the late 1950s and early 1960s, such as Robert Rauschenberg, Andy Warhol, and James Rosenquist. The son of Russian immigrants, Alex Katz (New York, 1927) is one of the leading painters of his generation. With his particular approach to figuration, in a context where Abstract Expressionism still reigned supreme, Katz presaged the advent of a renewed interest in “realism” in the field of representation, even before Pop Art took off. Though he is often associated with this movement due to the fact that his work incorporates ACQUISITIONS 10 ACQUISITIONS 11 details taken from the film industry, advertising, or fashion, Katz refuses to accept this label: “Pop art is about signs, whereas I deal with symbols. Pop Art is cynical and ironic, while my work is not. Those are the differences. Pop art is modern, my work is traditional.” Many of the subjects depicted in Katz’s paintings are women. The series of works, united under the generic title Smiles, consists of eleven portraits of smiling women against a dark neutral background. To create his portraits, Katz often relies on people from his own circle of acquaintances (his wife, female friends, etc.) whom he identifies by including their first names in the titles of the canvases. In his case, the recourse to portraiture should be understood as an exercise that attempts to solve the classic “figure-ground” relationship; consequently, the portrayed subjects serve the purpose of research tools. Mona Hatoum (Beirut, 1952) and Doris Salcedo (Bogotá, 1958) are both essential figures for understanding the development of sculptural and installation language since the 1980s. Their works reflect the adoption of a new strategy in the museum’s acquisitions policy, which aims to expand the geographic scope of the Bilbao collection beyond European and American art. Hatoum’s work Home is a large table strewn with various kitchen utensils that are attached to each other by metal clips and wires plugged into an electrical outlet. A computer program causes the electric current to turn on several small light bulbs hidden beneath some of the objects, which shine with variable intensity and frequency, while speakers amplify the humming noise that this circuit emits. The entire installation is fenced off by a series of horizontal steel cables that separate the audience from these potentially lethal objects. Hatoum created Home in the 1990s, a critical period in her international career when museums around the world dedicated major exhibitions to her work and she was shortlisted for the prestigious Turner Prize (1995). In this piece, as in other pivotal examples from her earlier and later oeuvre, the artist creates an unsettling, threatening scene that contrasts with the habitual ideas comfort and safety that the term “home” usually evokes. Hatoum triggers an emotional response in the spectator by creating environments that are halfway between attraction and repulsion, between the familiar and the bizarre. Doris Salcedo is the first female Latin American artist to have a work included in the collection of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. Her piece Untitled belongs to the largest series she has produced to date, begun in 1989 and still in progress, in which she combines groups of old wardrobes and tables to create hybrid forms whose cavities and surfaces are partially covered with concrete. Thanks to their material qualities, the resulting forms operate as vehicles of implicit narratives, both personal and collective, and in many cases represent first-hand evidence of a real victim of the war in Colombia, as the artist has pointed out. In 2007 Salcedo exhibited a work entitled Shibboleth, a huge crack in the floor symbolizing the gap that separates the First and Third Worlds, in the Turbine Hall at Tate Modern, London. In addition to these acquisitions, the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao collection also received four donations: an installation by British artist Liam Gillick and three photographs by José Manuel Ballester.

Working independently or in various collaborative constellations, they eschewed the individual object in favor of the exhibition environment as a dynamic arena, ever expanding its physical and temporal parameters. For these artists an exhibition can comprise a film, a novel, a shared meal, a social space, a performance or a journey. Their work engages directly with the vicissitudes of everyday life, offering subtle moments of transformation. This catalogue, which accompanies a major exhibition at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, is the first in the U.S. to examine the dynamic interchange among a core group of these artists--Angela Bulloch, Maurizio Cattelan, Liam Gillick, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Douglas Gordon, Carsten Höller, Pierre Huyghe, Jorge Pardo, Philippe Parreno and Rirkrit Tiravanija--a many-sided conversation that helped shape the cultural landscape of the 1990s and beyond.

The becoming machine of the body. I would like to begin by asking the question “What kind of body can art imagine for the future?” In so doing, I will not provide an answer along the lines of “this is the future of the body” or “art is able to see how our bodies will be.” Rather, I will focus on the way art has always already imagined the body, responding to cultural and social transformations that affect us as embodied subjects. My objective is to consider this issue through the work of Matthew Barney, an artist who—as the title of this series, Cremaster Anatomies, indicates—has been involved in imaging the body’s possible transformations.

    theanyspacewhatever Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum October 24, 2008 – January 7, 2009 By Tobi Maier for EXIT Express Recent critiques of former director Mr. Krens overpaying for works bought towards the Guggenheim’s Bilbao collection seemed to be a footnote when theanyspacewhatever opened and not a political issue that would be fueling the current show of ‘relational aesthetics’ at the US branch of the museum over which Mr. Krens also presided until recently. In the museum and exhibition landscape of New York, which is otherwise dominated by ‘Democracy’ exhibitions such as Creative Time’s Democracy in America and OURS: Democracy in the Age of Branding at Parsons The New School for Design and The Vera List Center for Art and Politics (through February 1, 2009), theanyspacewhatever, curated by the Guggenheim’s chief curator Nancy Spector, was a surprisingly pale affair. One would have imagined that digging into the works by a group of 10 artists that featured Angela Bulloch, Maurizio Cattelan, Liam Gillick, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Douglas Gordon, Carsten Höller, Pierre Huyghe, Jorge Pardo, Philippe Parreno and Rirkrit Tiravanija would bring out some more subtle statement of the last days in a pre-Barack Obama era. But perhaps critics like Texte zur Kunst’s Isabelle Graw are right when they say they never believed there was anything political about this group of artists work. ‘Relational aesthetics’ has been a widely avoided term for this exhibition, and while it should be confronted more boldly, the exhibition comes at a point of time where nobody really expected it anymore. Although the group of artists denies constituting ‘a group’, their individual efforts over recent years have kind of split their practice into different angles.

Stefania Portinari* Abstract Maurizio Cattelan's poetics is filled with wrong and irreverent details. It can be a pigeon inside a room at Venice Biennale or a chasm in the floor of a museum, it is the inscription "Hollywood" in the wrong place, it is a strange door in an alley of Chelsea in New York, an ambiguous word in a sign or a stolen expression in an interview. Details of stories and interiors then become devices to activate interpretative practices, relational aesthetics and postproductions, to create misunderstandings because – as the artist claims – "truth is only the moment when you claim something like yours". Keywords Maurizio Cattelan. Detail. Nancy Spector. Nicolas Bourriaud. Venice Biennale. Resumo A poética de Maurizio Cattelan está repleta de detalhes incorretos e irreverentes. Pode ser um pombo em uma sala da Bienal de Veneza ou uma fissura no chão de um museu; a inscrição "Hollywood" no lugar errado; uma porta estranha em um beco em Chelsea, Nova York; uma palavra ambígua em uma placa ou uma expressão roubada em uma entrevista.
