Selection

Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao

...From Changing Perceptions:
The Panza Collection at the Guggenheim Museum

Galleries 104 and 105 through January 2002

Representing one of the preeminent collections of Minimal, Postminimal, Conceptual, and installation art, the selections of work from the Panza Collection by Robert Morris, Bruce Nauman, and Richard Serra, currently on view on the first floor of the museum-illustrate the changing attitudes about art fostered in the 1960s and 1970s.

Artists of this generation turned to unconventional, industrial materials and began to accentuate the literal, physical properties of their work in lieu of narrative content.
Relieved of this symbolic role, freed from the traditional pedestal or base, and introduced into the real space of the viewer, sculpture took on a new relationship to the spectator whose phenomenological experience of an object became crucial to its meaning.

For Morris, Nauman, and Serra-who were involved with a range of artistic disciplines including dance, film, and music-a more performative approach to art replaced formal concerns.
Incorporating space and time into their vocabulary, these artists encourage viewers to move around and often on, in, and through their work to encounter it from multiple perspectives. The result is an intellectual and visceral interaction with the work and the surrounding environment.

Serra's Strike (1969-71), a wall-like steel plate that leans upright in the corner, morphs from plane to line as the viewer traverses the bisected gallery.
Morris's series of untitled steel works from 1969 similarly confront the viewer with architecturally scaled objects that transform from closed to open forms as one changes vantage point.
Akin to Morris's labyrinths, which viewers negotiate like rats through a maze, Nauman's Green Light Corridor (1970) requires visitors to navigate an unusually long and cramped passage lit with a disturbing green glow.
This uncomfortable, provocative environment demonstrates the profound psychological and physical reactions architecture can engender.
All three artists expand the definition of what art can be and how the viewer experiences it.
