| | Anish Kapoor: Leviathan, Monumenta 2011, Grand Palais,Paris\\ |
| | Passing into a darkened entrance hall, you are ushered, not to say bundled, through a doorway into an immense, red womb-like space, lit through its membrane-like surface which looks soft, almost velvet-like, but is rubbery and barely yields to the touch. Gaping orifices open out into three more pod-like spaces. Far from standing in the exhibition hall looking at an object, you’re in the object itself, with no sense of the surrounding environment – until the sun comes out projecting the web-like patterns of the Grand Palais’s roof over the rounded surfaces. |
| | Moving through the arches formed by the immense rounded rubber feet you feel truly tiny, the people on the far side of the hall appearing positively antlike. Yet far from feeling oppressive, this immense mass glows where the light hits it, reflecting the leaping at nouveau arches overhead. Whichever way you look or move you’re hit by some extraordinary new vista. The juxtaposition of the two structures is exhilarating in its sheer unlikeliness: the Grand Palais, epitome of the self-consciously man-made, and Kapoor’s rubber mass, which for all its organic, bodily qualities is no less synthetic. |
| | While Kapoor has stated that the work’s title. ‘Leviathan’, the piece is a play of structure and scale that alludes to the idea of the cathedral: the body as living, breathing sacred space, inside a structure that is literally cathedral-like.\\ |

| | The concert hall Ark Nova created by Arata Isozaki and Anish Kapoor is an air-inflated membrane structure which equipped with the necessary stage and sound equipment. The membrane can be folded up and the equipment dismantled and loaded on a truck, so they can be brought to each site. The interior is a single uninterrupted space which, depending on the arrangement of equipment, is a multistage format which can accommodate various events from orchestras to chamber music, jazz, the performing arts or exhibitions. It is envisioned to seat 500 during an orchestra performance, and is planned to have a width of 30m, length of 36m and maximum height of 18m. realisation 26 nov. 2013.http://www.dezeen.com/2013/09/26/ark-nova-by-arata-isozaki-and-anish-kapoor-completes/ |
