ART NOW

Exploring the theme of experience in Art with a focus in interactive installations.

Anish Kapoor, Leviathan. 2011. Grand Palais, Paris Anish Kapoor’s artwork celebrates neither permanence nor eternity, but instead the transitive, fugitive nature of instants. “…it is a single object, a single shape, a single colour. the dense red reminds us of the colours we see in our eyes at night -unstable and monochrome - red creates much more sombre shadows, psychologically and physically, than black or blue. The grand palais is one of those remarkable spaces in the world, a vast volume full of light, and has its own beauty. To make a work in it, one has to deal with all of that, especially the light. I want the viewer to have a moment of shock, aesthetically but also physically, so that when you enter the nave you raise your eyes and say: ‘wow! could it be like that!’ each artwork is above all an event.”
