Anish Kapoor at the MCA

If you get a chance, go and experience the Anish Kapoor exhibition at the MCA in Sydney. It has been described as 'a ground-breaking exhibition that challenges, intrigues and excites’ by art almanac.


It is one of those exhibitions where the images simply dont do the work justice. 


Large scale works play with light and illusion.


And because touching is forbidden many of the sculptures are puzzling and intriguing - they play tricks with the mind.



I just love the large corton steel sculpture called Memory, above. You can view it from the outside, and in another room you can look into it - from what first appears to be a large black square painted onto the wall - it is actually a void into the Memory sculpture. Amazing!



Many of the works are reflective and encourage the viewer to interact with them.



The exhibition is on until 1 April 2013.
