from the New York Times article ‘Contemplating the Void’

The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum is capping the 50th birthday festivities for its Frank Lloyd Wright building with some navel gazing. Still, there are worse navels to consider. Wright’s spiral rotunda, in fact, could be thought of as the greatest belly button in modern architecture: an innie and an outie all in one.

The rotunda is the inspiration for a frolicking, mostly feel-good show called “Contemplating the Void: Interventions in the Guggenheim Museum,” for which more than 200 artists, architects and designers were invited to redesign or repurpose the space. “A self-reflexive folly” is how the project was described in the letters sent out by Nancy Spector, deputy director and chief curator of the Guggenheim Foundation, and David van der Leer, assistant curator of architecture and design at the museum. Participants were free to propose anything, since none of the proposals would be built.
