About the LG Guggenheim Art and Technology Initiative
The LG Guggenheim Art and Technology Initiative is a five-year, multifaceted collaboration between the Guggenheim and LG designed to research, honor, and promote artists working at the intersection of art and technology. Unique in its areas of concentration and approach, the initiative is an unprecedented investment in technology as an artistic medium. It enables the Guggenheim to broaden its investigations into this innovative field, providing essential support to the visionary artists who inspire new understandings of how technology shapes, and is shaped by, society.
As part of the initiative, LG Display will sponsor the Guggenheim’s YCC Party through 2027. Through its sponsorship of the party, the LG Guggenheim Art and Technology Initiative sustains the museum’s mission to collect, preserve, and interpret the art of our time and expands the YCC’s long-standing history of supporting emerging artists. Each year the YCC Party features activations and performances devised by rising stars of the art world; these artists will incorporate LG’s groundbreaking OLED technology into their engagements with the Guggenheim’s landmark building.
The 2024 LG Guggenheim Award recipient will be celebrated at the 2024 YCC Party. Three additional artists will be recognized through 2027.
