On Kawara—Silence
Guggenheim Museum, New York,
2015
The incredible minimal restraint present in the artist’s body of work made this seemingly simple exhibition one of the most difficult to design. In collaboration with the artist, the layout had to be successful both linearly as well as vertically, spanning ramps and decades by doing so. The design was intended to melt into the building, revealing only the various bodies of work.
