黑料不打烊

Peggy Guggenheim is celebrated for her groundbreaking modern art collection. Migrating Objects will focus on a lesser-known, but crucial episode in Guggenheim鈥檚 own migratory path: her turn to the arts of Africa, Oceania, and the indigenous Americas in the 1950s and 鈥�60s. The exhibition will present these objects in groupings privileging their original contexts or, alternately, in dialogue with European works from her collection. Guggenheim鈥檚 approach will be located within a broader, problematic tradition of pairing modern Western art with 鈥渘on-Western鈥� art, based on perceived formal and conceptual affinities. These purposely contrasting methodologies will allow for a consideration of how the works, whose intended uses and meanings were frequently misunderstood, were deployed in studios, galleries, museums, and homes to different, often contradictory, ends. Tracing these objects鈥� trajectories will reveal entangled histories of colonization, annexation, migration, and reinterpretation, in tandem with biographies of individuals both well-known and unrecorded.
