What happens when you combine the open space of a colossal atrium, a renowned sculptor with an electronic music pioneer? A monumental artistic experience, through shape, space and integration of music. This edition of the Creators Project, includes British sculptor, Anish Kapoor and M-nus producer, Richie Hawtin.
“My ambition,” said Kapoor in the press release, “is to create a space within a space that responds to the height and luminosity of the Nave at the Grand Palais. Visitors will be invited to walk inside the work, to immerse themselves in color, and it will, I hope, be a contemplative and poetic experience.”
Each year, Monumenta invites an internationally renowned artist to conceive of a site-specific installation for the great nave of the Grand Palais in Paris. The vast atrium space, which encompasses some 13,500 square meters, has been tackled previously by some of today’s preeminent contemporary artists, including Anselm Kiefer, Richard Serra and Christian Boltanski.
