Playing with the sense of sight

Discover the fascinating world of Anish Kapoor at the ARKEN Museum of Contemporary Art in Copenhagen, Denmark, where the exhibition Anish Kapoor-Unseen presents the artist’s revolutionary sculptures and installations, marking his first solo exhibition in the Scandinavian region. Kapoor’s art transcends boundaries, inviting viewers to delve into the unseen and the void through monumental works that challenge perception.

At the heart of the artist’s practice is an exploration of absence and the intangible, materialising the invisible in works such as Descension (2014) and Memory (2008), which draw the viewer into a realm where the seen and unseen converge. Despite their imposing presence, Kapoor’s creations retain an aura of mystery, encouraging contemplation of the hidden depths within.

Step into Kapoor’s universe and encounter a selection of his most influential works from over four decades. Integrated into ARKEN’s architecture, they redefine the museum space. Kapoor’s art offers immersive experiences that alter perception and perspective, inviting visitors on a sensory journey to explore the profound complexity of human existence.

The exhibition Anish Kapoor – Unseen runs until 20 October 2024. For more information, please visit the ARKEN Museum of Contemporary Art website.
