Leviathan by Anish Kapoor, Monumenta 2011

Posted in architecture, france by Kirinrin on November 16, 2011

In June 2011,

Grand Palais is a National Gallery of a huge but elegant steel-glass structure.

Monumenta is an annual exhibition of Grand Palais.

Prestigious space for the prestigious artist. Since 2007, there are three artists (Anselm Kiefer, Richard Serra and Christian Boltanski) and this year is for Anish Kapoor.

It was a fantastic exhibition. It was amazing when the shadow of the steel structure of the building reflected on the surface of Leviathan. More info on the textile materials at the fabricator’s website .

My hearth is beating in les archives du coeur in Teshima JP with thousands of others. Is your hearthbeat there too?

  No unfortunately not. When there was an expo of Bolatanski in Paris, I ‘d been travelling. I lost a chance to be partially in Teshima with thousands of people.

    Don’t be afraid: you’re totally in this planet with all the people. That’s more important
    
    And if you live in France or in HK, it’s the same under this point of view…

저 빨간색은 이해가 안되고 있어 나, 쩝
저 globelike structure안에 들어가 있는거야?
저걸 어떻게 설치했다냐? 작업을 그 안에서 한거야 아님 다른곳에서 가져온거야?
저 어마어마한 싸이즈가 오히려 작품(?)보다는 건물 느낌을 더 주려나? i don’t know if that makes sense…

  하이 나나. 그니까 엄청나게 큰 빨간 풍선이 바닥에 스스로 앉아있다고 생각하면 아주 간단.
  아..저기 온통 빨간 사진은 그 풍선 안 뱃속에 들어가서 찍은 사진.
