In celebration of its 50th Anniversary, the Guggenheim Museum presents Animal Collective in collaboration with experimental visual artist Danny Perez for a site-specific performance on Thursday, March 4, 2010. In conjunction with Contemplating the Void: Interventions in the Guggenheim Museum and in the context of Tino Sehgal, for which the entire Guggenheim rotunda is cleared of art objects for the first time in the museum’s history, Animal Collective and Danny Perez will premiere an original work, Transverse Temporal Gyrus, transforming the museum into a kinetic, psychedelic environment. The work will feature original recorded music along with video projections, costumes, and props, rendering the band members and performers into intense, visual abstractions. The performance will run continuously from 9 pm to midnight and guests are invited to wander the museum rotunda and ramps to fully immerse themselves in the experience.
