Conversations in the Archive: Anish Kapoor (1998)
Section:
Key Words:
Artist Anish Kapoor and Martin Caiger-Smith, former Head of Exhibitions at Hayward Gallery, discuss Kapoor’s solo exhibition at the gallery in 1998. This exhibition was the artist’s first major solo show in a UK public institution. Taking over the entire gallery, it featured over 20 large-scale sculptural works, among them a number of site-specific sculptures that responded to the architecture of the Hayward Gallery.
...all these works were playing with the idea of the status of the object
