The Guggenheim Museum's rotunda has been the empty, enigmatic heart of the famous Frank Lloyd Wright-designed building since it was opened exactly 50 years ago. NEW YORK (AFP) - – What do almost 200 artists and architects answer when asked how to fill a vast empty space in the middle of New York? Useful things like: fill it with coffee. The Guggenheim Museum's rotunda has been the empty, enigmatic heart of the famous Frank Lloyd Wright-designed building since it was opened exactly 50 years ago. Now, in the finale of events commemorating that half century, the museum has invited 193 artists from around the world to imagine how they would use the space. The results, seen in the exhibition "Contemplating the Void: Interventions in the Guggenheim Museum" that opened Friday, don't literally seek to bung up the famous white cylinder between the rotunda's snaking walkways. Instead, this is a test of the imagination -- and humor -- of artists including Anish Kapoor and Alice Aycock, designers such as Fernando and Humberto Campana, and architects including BIG (Bjarke Ingels Group). So how do they fill the void? Several of the submissions, made in everything from elaborate paintings to sketches and precise architectural drawings, revolve around establishing a primeval forest in the 5th Avenue rotunda. Saunders Architecture from Norway submitted a digital print showing Frank Lloyd Wright himself relaxing in a forest glade bounded by the spiraling ramps. Others suggest using sound to fill the space. Cuban-born Carlos Garaicoa drew up plans for suspending every instrument from a full philharmonic orchestra, then playing the "chaos" of an orchestra's tune-up session. In a work called "Prelude," Kris Martin, born in Belgium, suggests a game of Chinese whispers. People would line up all around the spiral stairs passing up a quotation from Frank Lloyd Wright's autobiography: "The small hand with half-frozen fingers was again in its mitten in the older, stronger hand." "In the end, the F.L.W. sentence will reach the person on top," Martin says. "The latter will write it on a sheet of paper and will throw it in the void." Some of the suggestions -- if brought to fruition -- might cause panic. Pipilotti Rist, from Switzerland, calls for "an immense clitoris in the scale of 450:1." According to Rist's instructions, jotted down by hand next to graphic close-up anatomical photographs, "the clitoris is hold up into the sky by the labia minora, it stands on its vulval vestibule in the entrance hall of the Rotunda." The sculpture proposed would be 27 meters (88.5 feet) high and be "moving softly." Equally shocking, if for other reasons, would be "Macchiato," a proposal from the Office for Subversive Architecture in Germany, Austria and Britain. "The void will be completely filled with coffee," they decide. "The temporary removal of the void will be a powerful experience which somehow dictates a restriction to the visitor, which results in an enormous urge to finally see the void again." Not to mention the aroma of coffee through the building "to stimulate the visitor's senses." The exhibition runs until April 28. An auction of the art works will take place on March 4.
