'Turning the World Upside Down'
Opening hours:
6am until dusk
A display of reflective sculptures by Anish Kapoor can be seen from tomorrow in Kensington Gardens, London. The Serpentine Gallery, together with the Royal Parks have organised: Turning the World Upside Down, a display of four of Kapoor's major recent works, giant mirrored sculptures which simultaneously reflect and distort their surroundings.
The works explore the duality of natural shapes and abstract forms: Sky Mirror (2006) is a concave, 23 ton, 35-foot wide sculpture and can be seen near The Longwater in Kensington Gardens; C-Curve (2007) (pictured above) can be read as a physical means by which to experience something of the metaphysical, in a sort of re-enactment of reality.
Non-Object (Spire) (2008) and Sky Mirror, Red (2009) - magnificently on show in The Round Pond - complete the four sculptures, which are on display until March, and so will perfectly interact and alter with the changing seasons.
The works are best experienced as a series of encounters. Suddenly a stroll in the park is surprising and exciting.
