Former Wallpaper* Guest Editor, Jenny Holzer, transforms The Guggenheim's Frank Lloyd-Wright designed rotunda with a spiralling display of LED panels, broadcasting phrases from her series of essays. A reimagination of her 1989 exhibition at Guggenheim, Light Line highlights the incisive use of the written word across time and media in Holzer’s practice. In addition to the LED sign, the exhibition features a selection of Holzer’s works from the 1970s to the present day, including paintings, works on paper, and stone pieces. Between May 16-20, the building's exterior will also be used to project a selection of poems and observations which speak on the need for peace.
