The exhibition at the contemporary architecture CAFA Art Museum will present the dramatic and performative properties of Kapoor’s work, and focus on four of the most important works of the artist’s. The 2013 work Symphony for a Beloved Sun, exhibited at Martin-Gropius Bau in Berlin, will meet the public with a new look at the museum lobby. On the third floor gallery, there will display Kapoor’s debut exhibit at the Palace of Versailles in 2015, Sectional Body preparing for Monadic Singularity. The neighboring space will show Destierro, the industrial landscape work he showed in 2017 at Argentina’s Parque de la Memoria, or Memory Park, which features a lonely, ultramarine bulldozer in contrast with hundreds of tons of red earth. On the fourth floor of the museum, the automatic installation work My Red Homeland (2003) will be exhibited.

The other part of the solo exhibition will take place at the Taimiao Art Museum of Imperial Ancestral Temple, which belongs to the Forbidden City architecture group. The 600-year-old Taimiao is composed of buildings and courtyards of large volume. By reflecting and refracting the space using a series of stainless steel and pigment sculptures, Kapoor is having an unprecedented dialogue with the magnificent architecture and the history. His most impactful, interactive pair of works, S-Curve (2006) and C-Curve (2007) will be placed in the mid-court of Taimiao. “S-Curve” is a S-shaped sculpture formed by two seamlessly connected stainless steels. “C-Curve” is one large piece of curved stainless steel. The two art works, respectively in convex and concave shapes, directly reflects and retracts landscape around them. Located around these works is another group of important stainless steel sculptures by Kapoor, including Non-Object (Spire) (2008), and Non-Object (Door) (2008). These works show its environment up-side-down, make the audience immerse in the surrounding architecture and environment, and challenge the audience’s conceptive experience.

Pigment sculptures will be exhibited in the two side halls of Taimiao Art Museum’s Xiang Dian. Kapoor’s use of pigment is the foundation of many of his original works. He quickly rose to fame with the 1000 Names series (1979-1982) due to its innovative use of pigment. Other pigment sculptures that ensued, including the Angel (1990) in blue and the To Reflect an Intimate Part of the Red (1981) in a variety of colors and shapes, will appear in this exhibition. The varied art works will fill the ancient architecture space. All kinds of shapes will put the audience in a daze.

CAFA Art Museum

1570844537176509.jpg


The history of the CAFA Art Museum can be traced back to the early 1950s. Originally called the Central Academy of Fine Arts Gallery, it was located on Wangfujing, Beijing. Designed by the noted architect Zhang Kaiji, the Gallery was the first professional art museum built after the establishment of the People’s Republic of China. In 1998, the Gallery changed its name to the CAFA Art Museum. In October 2008, the museum moved to the No. 8 Huajiadi South Street in Beijing’s Chaoyang District, with a new building designed by the noted Japanese architect Arata Isozaki. In the end of 2010, the CAFA Art Museum was selected to be one of the firsts to be listed as the Key National Museums. The CAFA Art Museum is a professional and international modern art museum that conducts academic research, presents exhibitions, restores artworks and provides art education. The museum upholds the philosophy of open-mindedness and is rooted in the concept of using knowledge to serve society. It aims to bridge the past and the future through presenting great artistic and cultural accomplishments of our humanity, and share the culture of our times with all quarters of society.
