The Guggenheim Museum, NY is a romantic comedy museum in six levels. There are jokes to get, videos to watch, shoes to kick off, colored lights to see, recorded sounds to hear and yes the bed, which is a part of hotel room exhibition by the German artist Carsten Holler.

The picture displays ”Pierre Huyghe’s Opening” (2008). The 10 participants – Angela Bulloch, Maurizio Cattelan, Liam Gillick, Douglas Gordon, Pierre Huyghe, Jorge Pardo, Philippe Parreno, Rirkrit Tiravanija, along with Ms. Gonzalez-Foerster and Mr. Höller — have exhibited and sometimes collaborated together.

The larger aim of the museum is to create an experience of community in a time when everything- technology stress, shopping couspires against human connection.

The museum enterance is spectacular with fabilous white-on-white movie marquee of neon and fluoresent lights hanging  from white lighted chains.

Inside you may see a sclupture by Mr. Cattelan which is a large full-color version of Pinocchio floating face down in an elliptical pool.

The opening salvo is ”Are We Evil” with a period rather than the comfort of a question mark.

” The Red Kimona”, directed by Walter Lang in 1925 is in an area customized with beanbig chairs and functioning espresso bar.

If you don’t join in, you may find yourself reflecting on the way art creates freedom, by overcoming, sooner or later, the opposition it first meets.
