Saw Anish Kapoor’s site-specific sculpture, titled “Memory”. It is a 24 ton Cor-Ten steel tank, that sits tightly within the Guggenheim’s gallery space. Thus, the viewer has two distinct views of the work. In addition to that, a staircase leading down from the Guggenheim’s store offers a view into Memory’s dark, cavernous interior through a two-meter square aperture window. By this, the viewer has three perspectives he has to put together again in his memory.
Anish Kapoor was born in 1954 in Mumbai, India. He lives and works in London. The exhibition has been curated by Sandhini Poddar. The show will travel to the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York at a date to be announced.
