Monumenta 2011 – « Leviathan » – Anish Kapoor
Grand Palais
From May 11th to June 23rd 2011
Every year, “Monumenta” invites an artist to occupy the 13 500 sqm and 45 m high glass roof of the Grand Palais. This is a real challenge for the artist selected who inevitably creates a monumental work of art specially conceived for the event.
This year, the British and Indian artist Anish Kapoor enters into the exercise with its installation named “Leviahtan”. If you have the chance not having been exposed to descriptions of “Leviahtan” published in newspapers, keep the surprise before you go. You will be lost, stunned, puzzled, your imagination stimulated by this artistic experience accessible to everyone.
Before you go, you can get introduced to Anish Kapoor’s work, notably creator of Cloud Gate, an emblematic and popular sculpture set in the Millenium Park in Chicago.
Please do not hesitate to share your impressions on the blog!
Due to exhibition success, I highly recommend you to buy tickets online before your visit to avoid queuing.
