Steve McQueen Installation '66–76–26' Announced for Guggenheim Museum Bilbao

Steve McQueen will present his new installation, '66–76–26', at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, with the exhibition scheduled to run from October 9, 2026, to February 21, 2027. This presentation adds to the museum's contemporary art program.

The installation, categorized as both installation art and sound art, is centered around its auditory component. It will feature a cappella recordings of the song 'Wild is the Wind', performed by Nina Simone and David Bowie. This integration of music into a visual art context aligns with McQueen's broader artistic practice, which frequently explores themes through diverse mediums.

The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao will host this exhibition, with the collaboration of Occident. McQueen, an artist recognized for his work across film, sculpture, and installation, continues to engage with contemporary issues through his multidisciplinary approach.
