On Kawara—Silence
Guggenheim Museum
Online exhibit of "On Kawara—Silence." Through radically restricted means, On Kawara’s work engages the personal and historical consciousness of place and time. Kawara’s practice is often associated with the rise of Conceptual art, yet in its complex wit and philosophical reach, it stands well apart. On Kawara—Silence is the first full representation of Kawara’s output, beginning in 1964 and including every category of work, much of it produced during his travels across the globe. Includes videos, and audio tours. See also: Teaching Materials.
