1) Jenny Holzer, who in short (and i quote) uses "text-based light projections" against the exterior of the frank lloyd wright statue of a museum....
the words illuminate against the exterior and, like a teleprompter, float upwards towards the sky...it's definitely a captivating intro to the museum for newcomers. (but i hope you're not one of them). i think it would be a genius way for a rockstar to promote their songs no? hmmmm.

theanyspacewhatever - tres interessant. a visual installation throughout the museum via collaboration of contemporary artists across many disciplines - architecture, design, theater, through which each artist displays their "reaction" to the space. my favorite was the work by dominique gonzalez-foerster; she produced an artificial rainforest through speakers, and that was it. so basically we (my roommate and i) walked through one curved corridor that is adorned with nothing on the white walls save for speakers that emanated sounds of the rainforest. visually it was a pure and peaceful transcendental transition between installations...and sophisticated in its simplicity...the lighting, the sounds, the serenity. it's kind of like the speaker-scifi-trekkie sounds of the chanel mobile art, but this was much more sophisticated. i think karl and dominique should duke this one out.

btw, the guggenheim website has videos on the process of developing and installing these..installations...with interviews from the artists. watching these always make me feel tingly...it's like a brilliance of minds combusting in one space. baby. like. whoa.
museums are supremely great sources of inspiration for any artist...fashion designers...because it's a natural springboard from which to explore other ideas and means of expression, just by seeing works of art. i realize this is a basic concept, but it reinforces the idea that there is always more than meets the eye behind a finished product.
and there you have it, words to live by, from yours truly.
