Watch how certain stone fragments in Jenny Holzer’s “broken” (2024) were created. Holzer’s first uses of stone in the 1980s coincided with some of her early formal installations. Simple arrangements of stone works in LED-lit rooms—including her 1989 ring of benches in the Guggenheim’s rotunda—created spaces of contemplation and anticipation reminiscent of assemblies and waiting rooms. Granite and marble offered viewers a respite while lending Holzer’s words permanence. Those functions and associations are upended by a chaotic array of mismatched benches and salvaged fragments of smashed stone works, on view at #JennyHolzerLightLine ___ Pictured: Jenny Holzer (@jennyholzerstudio ), “broken,” 2024 (detail). © 2024 Jenny Holzer/ Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York.

"A nice surprise just around the corner! As an architecture student at the University of Puerto Rico I heard a lot about Frank Lloyd Wright's Guggenheim Museum. Its circulation, spiral form and sloped ramps makes it a unique concrete structure, especially when surrounded by the high-rise buildings of Manhattan." —Melissa Ramos López (@flyingroad ) #FrankLloydWrightFridays

Explore Paul Cézanne's deep connection to nature through his masterpiece "The Neighborhood of Jas de Bouffan". This painting reflects his forty-year exploration of his family's estate near Aix-en-Provence, showcasing the serene beauty of chestnut tree alleys and views of Mont Sainte-Victoire. 🌳🏡 The artwork, painted in the 1880s, blends vibrant greens with warm yellows, ochers, and cool blues, capturing the tranquil yet dynamic essence of the Provençal landscape under light. ✨ ___ 🎨: Paul Cézanne, "The Neighborhood of Jas de Bouffan," 1885–87. #PaulCézanne

Round and round we go. 🌀 Jenny Holzer's 2024 reimagining of the original 1989 LED sign fills our entire rotunda with writing from her 1977-79 "Truisms" series to later texts on the implications of violence and living with loss, with AI-generated visual effects appearing at intervals behind the words.

Zanele Muholi appears as a divine figure, part avian and part human. This photograph is part of the series "Somnyama Ngonyama (Hail the Dark Lioness)," taken in Europe, Asia, North America, and Africa between 2014 and 2017. Each portrait in the series poses critical questions about social injustice, human rights, and contested representations of the Black body. The photograph serves as a visual assertion of existence and dignity within a context that often marginalizes or erases such identities. ___ 📷: Zanele Muholi (@muholizanele ), "Ngwane I, Oslo," 2018. © Zanele Muholi, courtesy Stevenson, Cape Town/Johannesburg, and Yancey Richardson, New York. #ZaneleMuholi #PrideMonth
