"Guy Ben-Ner: Conversations with Contemporary Artists" Talk
Guggenheim Museum
This event has ended.
Newly represented in the Guggenheim Museum collection by the video work Stealing Beauty (2008), Guy Ben-Ner is best known for his seemingly ad hoc but in fact painstakingly constructed ‘home videos’. Whether refashioning literary classics or appropriating the domestic setting of Ikea, the artist positions himself, and his wife and children, in a layered world somewhere between fiction and reality. Often humorous but invariably critically engaged, Ben-Ner’s narratives scrutinize such universal notions as love and marriage, desire and responsibility.
