November 8–March 9
Situated on the top ramp of the rotunda, Sixth Stanza is a space for rest and contemplation. The installation highlights two recent museum projects that connect poetry and visual art. Projected in three bays are videos of poems in sign language created for Ekphrasis in Air, a public engagement project organized by the 2024 Guggenheim Poet-in-Residence Meg Day. Playing in select spaces are audio excerpts of translated works by twentieth-century poets Guillaume Apollinaire and Blaise Cendrars—whose work was integral to Orphism.
