To celebrate the final week of The Guggenheim’s exhibit, Rashid Johnson: A Poem for Deep Thinkers, Sun Ra Arkestra performed in the museum’s rotunda on Saturday night. Still led by 101-years-young Marshall Allen, the group were joined by Nona Hendryx joined mid-set to read a poem, and they also had a dancer on hand to make the show even more of a party.
