...transformation for participants. As a retrospective of sorts, New York City's Guggenheim Museum has invited artists including Angela Bulloch, Jorge Pardo, and Rirkrit Tiravanija to collaborate on site-specific installations for the upcoming theanyspacewhatever.

This is Bacon's fifth retrospective, and by now his screaming Popes, wrestling lovers and tread-marked faces are so famous it's impossible to make them new. But the Tate show, which runs until Jan. 4, does something better. It brings almost five decades of Bacons together into a kind of collective cry, one that makes...
