Guggenheim Museum, New York City, New York
Is it possible to become an avocado? To become chocolate? How about a book? A park bench? Both you and me at the same time? Twenty years ago and twenty years in the future? Can we kill someone without actually killing anybody? Slip through a passing sound? Lose our fear of death? Can we feel samba in our fingerprints? Is it possible to remember and experience things that have not previously occurred to us? Play oppositions as if they were droplets of water? Engage in mathematics and intuition through touch? Can we create animals that do not yet exist? Or an art show that exists only in the minds of visitors and conveys all of the above and neither? Why not in their bodies too? Would hypnosis allow this hybrid state of wakefulness and immersion into the world? Could we locate the tales of our time as an intersection of a passing moment within that world? And see it from the perspective of chocolate and water and [........................................................................ ...............................................................................................] at once?
