More culture. We take the rivercat ferry down to Circular Quay and walk along to the Museum of Contemporary art for their Anish Kapoor exhibition. We saw some of his work in the art gallery in Nice last year and were impressed.
This art work cracked me up!
He uses big lumps of red wax in interesting ways. He makes amazing mirrors of polished stainless steel, he conjures up shapes that trick the eye and he uses pure pigment with astonishing results.
We think he is the real deal, not just a purveyor of cheap visual tricks but the creator of amazing shapes and unique experiences. Have a look here.
Said one critic: ‘The artist is a magician … nothing short of extraordinary … this is a staggering exhibition by a major artist’.
We joined a tour given by a museum volunteer who was engaging and informative. We also watched a couple of short documentaries about his works in the Tate Modern and in a sculpture park in New Zealand – amazing huge fluid shapes.
The sky mirror.
A pleasant lunch on the roof of the MCA with great views to the Opera House on one side and the Harbour Bridge on the other.
The recent wild windy weather is to blame for the flags atop the bridge now being a bit tattered at the edges.
