Rashid Johnson: A Poem for Deep Thinkers
May 16, 2025
The Guggenheim New York is presenting a major solo exhibition of work by Rashid Johnson, which opened April 18 and will remain on view through Jan. 18, 2026. Encompassing the entirety of the museums rotunda, the show is Johnsons first solo presentation at the Guggenheim, his largest exhibition to date, and the first expansive museum survey of his work in over a decade. Rashid Johnson: A Poem for Deep Thinkers brings together more than 90 artworks, including an outdoor sculpture and new pieces made specifically for the exhibition. The exhibitions public programs includea dynamic performance and public-engagement series, developed in collaboration with both existing and new community partners. These programs will take place on a stage designed by the artist on the rotunda floor and within the monumental site-specific workSanguine, which will occupy the buildings top ramp. A piano embedded in the installation will serve as a centerpiece for scheduled musical performances. With activations happening four days a week, from Fridays through Mondays, the Guggenheim provides a platform for both next-generation and established artists.
