A key figure in the invention of Conceptual Art in the 1960s, Tom Marioni’s identity as artist, writer, and curator defies categorization. In 1970, he founded the Museum of Conceptual Art in San Francisco as a venue to support his own work and that of his friends and colleagues, and he has published his writings in various periodicals and books. Through the decades, Marioni has continued to, in his words, “observe real life and report on it poetically”, amassing a body of work comprised of drawings, prints, actions, and writings that articulate his desire to unite people and ideas.

The Third Mind: American Artists Contemplate Asia, 1860–1989
January 30–April 19, 2009

The Guggenheim invited Ann Hamilton, one of the exhibition artists in The Third Mind: American Artists Contemplate Asia, 1860–1989, to create a work to respond to the show’s themes. What she created was human carriage, a site-specific installation that descends the museum’s spiraling rotunda several times a day, filling the space with the faint sound of Tibetan cymbals she attached to the carriage.
