Anish Kapoor: “Taratantara”
“Taratantara”, the latest work by Anish Kapoor, opens in Piazza Plebiscito in Naples. Each year this Neopolitan piazza invites a different artist to show, leaving them complete freedom to create whatever they want. This year is the turn of Anish Kapoor, Indian artist (born in 1954) of English adoption.
A 60 tonne metal structure of innocent galvanised tubes, eighteen metres long and closed at the two ends by two doors thirty six metres high, supports a 52 m PVC sheet.
Anish Kapoor’s structures are always above man, never habitable.
They are an architecture of beauty, elements foreign to the place in which they exist, pure abstractions done for pure magic. Religious totems which demand a moment of silence: sculptures of the space within.
The PVC sheet has been produced by a studio of engineers in London: Atelier One, whilst technical support comes from the Naples architecture studio of Dumontet-Antonini-Zaske .
