Added: 2026-05-12

[00:00:48]Hello and welcome to Next Now in Contemporary Art. My name is Michael Francis Ryan and this is the Guggenheim Museum in New York City.

[00:01:00]Today we're going to take a look at the works of Carol Bove. So come along.

[00:01:15]I want to write your love songs. I know that I've got lost to birth.

[00:01:24]There must be a bit of me who wants to lose.

[00:01:32]I >> Carol Bug's wide ranging work explores how perception is shaped and unsettled.

[00:01:47]In her inventive practice, familiar objects become strange, heavy materials seem light, and historical forms are reimagined.

[00:02:08]realize that you are sunlight in my life.

[00:02:15]And I think that I need you to shine by my side.

[00:02:24]And the nights that I'm not sleeping, I only want to feel you way next to me.

[00:02:31]The Guggenheim Spiral Retunda offers a resonant setting for B's longstanding interest in tuning the relationship between objects in their surroundings.

[00:02:52]>> I'll be so good to you. I know I've got a lot to lose.

[00:02:59]I realize the you in my life.

[00:03:10]>> The exhibition is presented in a loose reverse chronology winding backwards in time from new sculptures on the lower ramps to drawings and installations made in the early 2000s at the top.

[00:03:26]I hope you enjoyed today's episode.
