here is the possible future look of aston martin… not bad, but there was a goofy thing about the bulky design of the old astons that i just loved. it made them look like a goofy guy that all the girls have a crush and that’s only cool. by pp
this exhibition surveys kapoor’s career to date showcasing new and previously unseen works, including early pigment sculptures, mirror-polished stainless-steel sculptures and cement sculptures on display for the first time. the exhibition also includes highlights such as the monumental work svayambh, the title of which comes from a sanskrit word meaning ‘self-generated’. emblematic of kapoor’s interest in works of sculpture that actively participate in their own creation, svayambh moves slowly through the galleries across the entire breadth of burlington house.
in an interview on bbc anish explains how meaning is not completely in the object, but that the viewer brings meaning through that which is familiar. so… what are you thinking about? by kl
well, it’s about time brands thought outside of the usual venues. in this case, sound serves as the centerpiece in the latest release from sony, soundville. it is a short film that documents three days in the life of the icelandic town of seydisfjordur after it’s been transformed into a giant soundsystem. the project brought in a surprising range of collaborators—from seydisfjordur’s townspeople themselves, to sigur ros’ concert team and musician fede cabral.
how did you come up with this particular idea? what inspired you?

the highlight of my day, that day, was indeed the chance of of meeting sam haskins at his show. the exhibit at milk studio was very good but unfortunately not as great as his work indeed is.
that is of course my personal opinion. the small diptychs created did not do the images justice. sam’s pictures are so amazing and simple they deserve to stand alone and in large, large, large, wall paper size formats. of course space is the key issue in nyc and i’m sure that had something to do with it. the exhibits prints were rather small making you feel like you were going through a printed book (what is the point when you can buy the book?).
that night i met sam and his son and his grandson. extremely kind and graceful. sam unfortunately had suffered a stroke recently and was not in top condition yet he was pleased to see so many young fans at the opening and happy to talk and sign my book. by dd
