**Reflections on *Artistic License:* Paul Chan**  
Tuesday, October 8

For the Guggenheim’s first artist-curated exhibition, *Artistic License: Six Takes on the Guggenheim Collection,* six contemporary artists combed through the museum’s extensive holdings, using their unique perspectives to shape this bold presentation of nearly 300 works. Paul Chan reflects on his process as a curator and discusses his selections exploring the motif of the bather throughout art history. [Tickets](http://bit.ly/333BIdx?ref=hyperallergic.com)
