If you have been to the GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM in BILBAO...
 

In May 2006 I visited the Guggenheim in Bilbao and am still haunted by one “arrangement” – not a painting.

If I remember correctly, the exhibit was in a darkened room. On one wall was a video screen on which continually flashed different sacred texts – the Bible, Koran, Torah, Talmud, and a wide variety of oriental and occidental scripts.

In the room facing this wall were several (8 – 10?) hooded figures, kneeling in worship as these texts changed continually. I do not recall if there were any sounds associated with this display, but the effect was powerful.

I know that the Guggenheim has many temporary shows – not sure if this were one of them or if it is part of the permanent collection.

Anyone remember this exhibit?

We've been several times since the Guggenheim opened, but I can't say that I remember that specific show, and there's nothing in the images we have on file from past visits.

Get in contact with them: http://www.guggenheim-bilbao.es/secc....php?idioma=en

and perhaps tell us what it was? Sounds powerful.

Robert 2533, thank you for checking your images/files. I am not sure how much of the Guggenheim collection is permanent.


Kimhe, I appreciate the contact number. Will get on it. Merci.

I often wonder (not) if the cannon that shoots melted red wax against a wall is still there!
