How on Earth do artists get the money and permits to do things like this? I can barely get a poster printed to my satisfaction.

I think this is very impressive, because as big as this place actually is, it barely can contain Kapoor's ego.

It sometimes happens that an artist or a designer who creates spectacular art or design objects is not a person we would find to our liking. This art installation is heroic in its scale and adventurous in its concept. In short a successful work of art. I know nothing personal about Anish Kapoor so I will refrain to comment on that point. What is it that you know about him that you would make your negative remark?

this is contemporary art, and kapoor isn't the only contemporary artist :)

One of my favorite large scale installations ever. I think that the shadow lines of the metal framed building enclosure projecting onto the skin of the Leviathan are incredibly beautiful. Transposition of a rigid rectilinear grid onto a fluid curving surface. To experience something like this on a gigantic scale has to evoke viewers' sense of awe by transporting them to an absolutely new environment. In many ways it becomes a giant womb. (Can unborn children detect light coming through their mothers' skin? I have a sense that they can.)

@@morallita It probably evokes a deep memory for many people -- being inside the womb. Of course that is long before a child is thinking about anything. Supposedly children forget almost everything that happens to them in the first years of childhood. I have one memory of sitting in a high chair from about 2 years old. I still have impressions of the late afternoon sunlight on the wall.

J'adore ce que fait ce type, sans restriction

i would like to know how was it made, did he assemble that inside the building? can anyone please answer my questions. Thankyou

One picks up on the visceral content of his work or one doesn't. It's there to be seen to be felt. I personally think his work has huge emotional impact.It operates on so many different levels.

An awesome exhibition indeed and a really immersive experience at the Grand Palais of Paris! We love to see Anish Kapoor's work around the world!

@NinkaPanda I guess it's named after the experience of walking inside that red, dim space - feels like being swallowed by the leviathan.

WOW! Kapoor is really good (!), but he should allow more creative minds than his own the right to use Wantablack (the blackest color of all) for artistic purposes.

This needs to be at burningman

Burning Man used to be a legitimate art event and it has predictably evolved into a must-attend playground for the rich and trendy. In its early years it was truly an event that featured innovative artworks. Now... a mixed bag. In any case the question is whether international artists want to be a part of it.

For anyone thats interested, i posted this here: tommacphail.tumblr.com

Give us the black Mr. Kapoor

anytime I see an old masterpiece like the mona lisa, I say,, you fool, it would be much better if done with mirrors, just kidding

Modern Art sucks this looks like a turd in a building

What you may not realize is that the turd image is something YOU have brought into the interpretation of Kapoor's installation. Most people see it as a gigantic vessel organic in nature. Inside it the essential feeling one gets is that of a womb. If a pregnant woman exposes herself to bright sunlight, the fetus inside her would see a faint reddish field all around.
