Explore 21c

At 21c, art is an unexpected encounter, a new idea, and a starting point for lively conversation. It is around every corner •• in the elevators, hallways, landings, public restrooms, and The Hive’s dining room and bar + lounge. Installations flow onto the city sidewalk, engaging guests and passerby’s alike. 21c believes art can and should be part of daily life, rather than something that can only be seen on a planned trip to a formal institution. During your visit, we invite you to discover and explore the exhibitions. The Museum is free and open to the public 24/7. Popular site•specific works and exhibitions include:

GREEN PENGUINS, CRACKING ART

The Green Penguin flock was created by Cracking Art, a collective of artists who inspire people to consider art simultaneously fun and thought-provoking. Sculpted from recycled plastic, the fleet of 4-foot birds serves as a playful reminder of the importance of sustainability and environmental conservation. The sculptures migrate throughout 21c each day and night.

CHANNEL 2, VARIOUS ARTISTS

Available on all guest room televisions, 21c’s Video Art Channel features a rotating exhibition of video art by moving image pioneers such as Burt Barr, Abbas Kiarostami, and Bill Viola. Features change regularly and include highlights like In Frame, the documentary following 21c fo-founder Steve Wilson.

OUTSIDE\IN: SITE-SPECIFIC ART AT 21c MUSEUM HOTEL BENTONVILLE

An international collection of sculpture, painting, wallpaper,  installation  and new media art, OUTSI DE\IN is integrated into a variety of spaces around and within the building, responding to both the architecture and to the surrounding environment. Commissioned and selected for 21c Museum Hotel Bentonville, the works reference nature’s forms and elements echo architect Deborah Berke’s light-filled design, heightening visitors’ perceptions of their environs and of worlds beyond. Works include:

TREE OF 40 FRUITS, SAM VAN AKEN

The Tree of 40 Fruits is quite literally a fruit tree that will grow forty varieties of fruit from the family of stone fruits, including peach, plum, apricot, nectarine, cherry and the hybrid species therein. Blossoming in variegated tones of white and pink in early spring, and burdened by fruit in late summer this work draws its significance from the number forty. Found throughout history and in particular in western religious texts, the number forty symbolizes the innumerable, a bounty beyond calculation.

ORANGE TREE, ALEXANDRE ARRECHEA

Orange Tree, Alexandre Arrechea’s large scale sculpture of a metal tree sprouting basketball hoops and surrounded by basketballs, is a sculptural exploration of the relationship between sports and urban street culture. Referencing found objects, architecture, nature, and imagery from popular culture, Arrechea creates work that is engaging and provocative, accessible, and profound.

UNTITLED, MATTIA BONETTI

Mattia Bonetti was born in Lugano, Switzerland, in 1952, and currently lives and works in Paris. He received formal training as a designer at the Centro Scolastico per l’lndustria Artistica in Lugano. After moving to Paris in 1973, he worked as a textile designer, style consultant, and art photographer.

UNFOLDED, CHRIS DOYLE

Referencing paper currency in shape and design, Chris Doyle’s Unfolded belongs to the same body of work as Waste Generation (2010), the animation featured in the Video Lounge as part of the inaugural exhibition,

Hybridity: The New Frontier. Waste_Generation charts the cyclical evolution of paper, from tree to pulp to paper to currency and beyond.

SUDDEN GUST OF WIND IN BENTONVILLE, SERKAN OZKAYA

Istanbul based artist Serkan Ozkaya’s A Sudden Gust of Wind in Bentonville is comprised of 400 sheets of metal that emulate a scattered stack of 8.5″ x 11″ papers, frozen in motion across the ceiling and descending in a looping, funnel formation to the floor. Alluding to the beauty found in the moments or seconds between action and destruction, control and chaos,  A Sudden  Gust of Wind in Bentonville is one of a series of related installations referencing older artworks of the same title.

HIDE AND SEEK, ANNE PEABODY

In Hide and Seek, the glass drawing of a forest is made up of large digitally rendered trees, which grow more and more transparent as they recede. The darker trees in the foreground create areas in which people can hide completely from the outside world, while the more transparent background trees and foggy areas transform him or her from a viewer into an object being viewed. This boundary is constantly crossed as patrons walk through space, passing by and through trees of varying opacities.

FLOW 5.0, DAAN ROOSEGAARDE

This interactive sculpture by Dutch artist Daan Roosegaarde is a smart wall composed of hundreds of ventilators that respond to passing visitors. By walking and interacting with its surface, the viewer triggers the emergence of an elusive landscape created out of transparent fields and artificial winds.

FLYPAPER, ROB WYNNE

Rob Wynne was born in 1950 in New York, where he currently lives and works. His work has been featured in solo exhibitions at Locks Gallery, Philadelphia, PA (2008); JGM. Galerie, Paris, France (2008); Craig Starr Associates, New York, NY (2006); and Galerie Edward Mitterrand, Geneva, Switzerland (2001).
