0 upcoming performances in New York

At Guggenheim Exhibitions, *Mural* is presented as a study in how paint can claim architectural space, treating the wall less as a backdrop than as a permanent surface with its own demands. Featured here is Jackson Pollock, whose work sits at a hinge point in New York’s postwar art story, when the city began to displace Paris as a center of modern painting. The piece matters for its scale and method, but also for what it implies about the museum itself: a place where the boundary between image and structure is negotiated in public.
