Cecil Balmond - COMA

Forum 64: Cecil Balmond
Through May 30Forum Gallery

http://www.cmoa.org/exhibitions/exhibit.asp

Cecil Balmond has transformed the role of the engineer in contemporary architecture with his unorthodox and visionary approach that challenges staid definitions of architecture and engineering. Forum 64 features his work H_edge, which consists of approximately 6,000 aluminum plates suspended between rigid stainless steel chains. What appears to hang like metallic ivy is revealed on closer inspection to stand from the floor. This “trick” allows for H_edge segments to turn at will and create a mazelike structure that is surprisingly sturdy. Interstitial gaps offer intriguing glimpses through a structure further animated by light and reflections. H_edge is supplemented by a suite of lightboxes that illustrate the principles used by Balmond to structure many of today's most innovative buildings.

Anish Kapoor @ the Guggenheim

Indian Artist Anish Kapoor creates large scale installations/sculptures. His works are sensorial and often excite our sense of tactility, form and color.  His work often enters into dialogue with architecture and encompasses his viewer's within monumental works.  His work is currently on view at the Guggenheim in a solo exhibition entitled "Anish Kapoor: Memory". Please find below a link to that site and a video about the artist's work that includes the artist speaking about his exhibition at the Guggenheim.
