Matthew Barney marathon and 24-hour dance party on the slate at Guggenheim Museum

Visitors may want to rest up before visiting the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum this summer. To celebrate its marquee exhibition Storylines: Contemporary Art at the Guggenheim (5 June-9 September), the museum is organising both a movie marathon and a dance marathon. On sel ect Saturdays during the show, the Guggenheim will screen all five films from Matthew Barney’s epic CREMASTER cycle (1994-2005) back-to-back from 10:30am to 7:30pm.

Those who cannot imagine sitting still for that long might opt instead for the 24-hour dance marathon organised by the artist Agathe Snow on 20 August. The party at the museum doubles as the premiere of Snow’s latest film, appropriately titled Stamina (2014-15), which documents a 24-hour party she hosted in 2005 to celebrate underground nightlife in post-9/11 New York.

The video by Snow is one of several recent acquisitions included in the exhibition. Other inclusions are so new they are designated as “pending acquisitions”: two inkjet prints made this year by Juliana Huxtable, the 27-year-old artist who was a crowd favourite at this year’s New Museum Triennial, and a print from 2014 by the Los Angeles-based artist Laura Owens. Storylines brings together around 100 works from the collection, most of which were made in the past 10 years, that relate to the theme of narrative.
