together with toledo/dertschei, one half of sensomatic and our kind host s. we also took a look inside the guggy peggenheim collection in venice.

Joseba Zulaika wrote an article about Guggenheim Bilbao: "The Museum of the 21st Century or the Seduction of Incongruence".

so, besides paintings being presented in fundamentally inadequate aisles (1.5 meters wide, at least in venice) and the too obvious cult of personality, there actually seems to be something more way-wrong with the guggenheim museums (or similar foundations).

side-note: the "survival guide for demonstrators" available for free at arsenal recommends a trip to bilbao for a protest against the museum.
