Press Release G A G O S I A N 26 September 2016 The skin, the outermost covering, has always been for me the place of action. It is the moment of contact between the thing and the world. —Anish Kapoor Gagosian is pleased to present Anish Kapoor’s first solo exhibition with the gallery and his first in Hong Kong. In sculptures made during the last ten years, the primacy of materials and their qualities in Kapoor’s process is revealed, whereby worlds are created in which geometric formulae are filled and emptied in three dimensions. Minerals in rare hues and highly polished metals provide his anthropomorphic forms with an ineluctable opulence. (Continue to page 2) 7/F PEDDER BUILDING 12 PEDDER STREET CENTRAL, HONG KONG T. +852 2151 0555 F. +852 2151 0853 [email protected] WWW.GAGOSIAN.COM In his monumental sculptural practice, Kapoor conflates concave and convex, inside and outside, upright and inverted. In the works in the exhibition, he explores and achieves the same tensions on a more intimate scale. Nestled in corners or placed on the floor, these sculptures feel almost familiar. Viewers entering the gallery share their space and their gravity. Yet, despite the appeal of their colors and textures, and the intimation of their weight, the sculptures resist approach. Curved mirrors of stainless steel and aluminum, mounted on the wall or free-standing, distort the viewer’s reflection and unsettle, or even liquefy, the slabs of carved stone that rest solidly on the floor. The effect is one of incomprehensibility without apparent reason—as if the rules of physics are being broken, but there is no way to prove it. In Gossamer (2015), a large piece of pink onyx finely carved into a stretched ellipse, the inward-curving hole at the center creates the illusion of a deepening void. In a display of material mastery, Kapoor generates the same sensation in surfaces as disparate as cloudy gray alabaster and dazzling fiberglass and gold. Whether encountering the dark seams of Kapoor’s forms folding in on themselves, or, as is with Vertigo (2006), one’s own reflection is multiplied within a warped architecture, there is a consistent sense of having entered a space that is at once natural, artificial, and alchemical. Anish Kapoor was born in 1954 in Mumbai, and lives and works in London. His work is featured in public collections including Museum of Modern Art, New York; Hara Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo; Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C.; Moderna Museet, Stockholm; Museo National Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; Tate Modern, London; Tate Britain; Tel Aviv Museum of Art; and Walker Art Center, Minneapolis.

  • Tees Valley Giants
    5TEES VALLEY GIANTS TEES VALLEY GIANTS A series of five world-class art installations matched only in scale by the ambition of Tees Valley Regeneration in its instigation of the project. Temenos is the first iteration of the five sculptures that will combine as the world’s largest series of public art - the Tees Valley Giants. The epically scaled installations created by Turner Prize winning sculptor Anish Kapoor and pioneering structural designer Cecil Balmond, will soon grace the Tees Valley, with the first of these, Temenos, located at Middlehaven, Middlesbrough. Over the next decade four more structures will be located within each of the other four Tees Valley boroughs: Stockton, Hartlepool, Darlington and Redcar and Cleveland. Although each work is individually designed and specific to its location, the structures will be thematically related, visually linking the Tees Valley and highlighting the ambition for social, cultural and economic regeneration of the Tees Valley as a whole. Massive in impact, scale and world status, Tees Valley Giants is symbolic of the aspiration and ongoing commitment of Tees Valley Regeneration to enhance the way in which the Tees Valley is viewed and experienced. TEMENOS Temenos Greek, meaning ‘land cut off and assigned as sanctuary or holy area.’ Temenos is a bold contemporary artwork which also recalls the heritage of Middlesbrough and the Tees Valley. Its construction will call on the traditional twin skills of the region: precision engineering and heavy industry. Standing at a height of nearly 50 metres and spanning almost 120 metres in length, Temenos will stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Middlesbrough’s landmark Transporter Bridge.

  • Round 16 - Tossups
    NSC 2019 - Round 16 - Tossups 1. The play Operation Restore Regasi parodies a minister in this country who mispronounced the name of ​ ​ a coup codenamed Operation Restore Legacy. Another minister from this country, Energy Mutodi, falsely blamed a 2019 internet shutdown on "congestion." A riot broke out in its capital when Kombi drivers raised their rates to $10 in the bond dollars that are technically exchangeable for US dollars here. This country is led by a man nicknamed The (*) Crocodile who came to power after arresting its 92-year-old ​ president in 2017. Following a contested 2008 election in this country, the MDC party shared a degree of power with ZANU-PF. For 10 points, in what country did Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa (MAN-en-gag-wa) depose ​ ​ longtime dictator Robert Mugabe? ANSWER: Zimbabwe [or Republic of Zimbabwe] ​ ​ ​ ​ <Bentley, Current Events - World> 2. This work claims that "loaves of bread" that split open "in the oven" shows how "Nature's inadvertence has its own charm, its own attractiveness." This text states that after the deaths of Alexander the Great and his "mule driver", their souls either became part of the "life-force" of the world, or were turned into "atoms" of an "Epicurean universe." This work, whose Greek title Ta eis ​ heauton ("tah ays HEY-ow-tohn") means "things to one-self," begins by thanking the author's teacher (*) ​ ​ ​ Rusticus, who introduced him to Epictetus's ("eh-PIC-teh-tus") philosophy. It was written in koine ("KOY-nay") ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Greek from 161 to 180 AD while its author was campaigning in places such as Carnuntum while fighting against the Quadi ("KWAH-dee") barbarians.

  • Anish Kapoor in Istanbul at the Sakıp Sabancı Museum
    9 September 2013 Anish Kapoor in Istanbul at the Sakıp Sabancı Museum S.U. Sakıp Sabancı Museum in collaboration with Akbank, hosts the first major exhibition in Turkey by leading international artist, Anish Kapoor. Sponsored by Akbank, on the occasion of their 65th year, Anish Kapoor‟s works are presented at SSM from 10 September 2013 to 5 January 2014. The exhibition, which is curated by Sir Norman Rosenthal, is the first to focus on the artist‟s stone sculptures in marble, alabaster and other materials, many of which have not been seen in public before. The exhibition also includes iconic works such as Sky Mirror and Yellow, bringing together sculpture, architecture, engineering and technology. The highly anticipated exhibition will be presented both in the galleries and the gardens of Sakıp Sabancı Museum. SSM Director Dr. Nazan Ölçer said: “We are thrilled to host a major exhibition by the great master of contemporary art Anish Kapoor at the Sakıp Sabancı Museum. Sometimes mobile, often of startling proportions, Anish Kapoor’s works elicit admiration and astonishment. Anish Kapoor is no stranger to Istanbul, where he has been to many times. Now here he is, bringing to our city stone pieces that he has been working on for years, many of which have never been displayed. Along with the stone pieces, iconic works such as Yellow and Sky Mirror are presented in our exhibition.” Nazan Ölçer also said: “We are honored to have Sir Norman Rosenthal, a famous name in art circles all over the world, and a long-standing member of our Museum’s International Advisory Committee, as our exhibition curator.
