Anish Kapoor. Untrue Unreal
From 7 October 2023 to 4 February 2024, Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi presents “Anish Kapoor. Untrue Unreal”, a major exhibition conceived and realized together with the celebrated master who revolutionized the idea of sculpture in contemporary art. Curated by Arturo Galansino, Director General of the Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi, the exhibition offers a journey through monumental installations, intimate environments and disturbing forms, creating an original and engaging dialogue between Anish Kapoor’s art, architecture and the public at Palazzo Strozzi.
Through historical and recent works, including a new production specifically conceived in dialogue with the architecture of the Renaissance courtyard, the exhibition is an opportunity to come into direct contact with Anish Kapoor’s art in its versatility, discordance, entropy and ephemerality. Palazzo Strozzi becomes a concave and convex place, whole and shattered at the same time, where visitors are called to question their senses. In Anish Kapoor’s art, the unreal is mixed with the improbable (untrue), transforming or denying the common perception of reality. He invites us to explore a world in which the boundaries between true and false dissolve, opening the door to the dimension of the impossible. His works combine empty and full spaces, absorbent and reflective surfaces, geometric and biomorphic forms. In a world where reality seems increasingly elusive and manipulable, Anish Kapoor challenges us to search for the truth beyond appearances, inviting us to explore the territory of the improbable and the unreal, untrue and unreal.
