The Guggenheim continues to “celebrate the ideas, people, and art,” integral to its mission,” online and in person, through its “Mind’s Eye” programming for participants with vision loss. Visitors are invited to join in an upcoming tour of their newest exhibition, Harmony and Dissonance: Orphism in Paris, 1910-1930. Orphism, abstract art that originated in the early 1900s, impacted dance, music, and poetry, along with other disciplines as “the innovations brought about by modern life were radically altering conceptions of time and space.” The upcoming program will be offered twice virtually and twice in-person (at the museum in New York City) on the following dates: Online: November 4, 2024 from 6:30 to 8:30 pm ET and November 6, 2024 from 2 to 4 pm ET; In Person: November 11, 2024 from 6:30 to 8:30 pm ET and November 13, 2024 from 2 to 4 pm ET. Participants can join by web link or by dial-in phone number. Artist and educator Maya Jeffereis will lead the program through verbal description and conversation. RSVP is required at least three days prior to the program by calling 212-360-4355 or via email: [email protected]. For more information, visit the Guggenheim webpage on Mind’s Eye: Orphism.
