THE STORY, IN BRIEF

ART AFRICA reports that Steve McQueen’s 66–76–26 at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao places two unaccompanied recordings of Wild Is the Wind in dialogue. Nina Simone’s 1966 performance and David Bowie’s 1976 version are heard from opposite ends of a darkened room. Curated by Lekha Hileman, the installation shifts attention from images to listening, memory and emotional expression. The exhibition continues until 21 February 2027.
