David Heald © Solomon R. Guggenheim FoundationI entered Doug Wheeler’s PSAD Synthetic Desert III, an installation in a small gallery at the top of the Guggenheim, and waited for something to happen. A narrow ramp that extended in the center, and served as a platform over a grid of white pyramids. I knew that the installation was based on a series of drawings that Wheeler made in 1968. From the photographs I looked at afterwards, the installation looked awesome. I could perceive, more from the press release than the installation itself, the quiet of the desert.
