ba ba boom

Anish Kapoor. Say no more, right? Well, at least in my world. 
Last time I saw some of his great pieces in person it was at the Met in New York. Well, on Saturday I did again, in Tilburg, at Museum De Pont and it was fab. Again.

Here are some very mature self-portraits. I am so glad I grabbed my striped cardy upon leaving the house in a rush in the morning. It worked wonders on the pieces. Judge by yourselves.
Way ay, look at me doing the splits... not. 
By the way, this piece does not have the magic ability of making people's heads fade into white blobs, I just wanted to grant unsuspecting visitors to the museum some privacy. That is the kind of ninja I am. 


But wait, I nearly forgot to show you the piece of resistance of the exhibition. Ba ba boom.
Bare with it (if you wish, that is). The whole thing is a bit theatrical, but you get your ba ba boom at the end. 

I reckon it is the first time ever I have shown my face here. Well, there you have it.

  3. Hello! The cardigan is perfect for Mr Kapoor's mirrored shapes. I would love to see the bean in Chicago.......I love that it brings out the child in people = as if we were standing in front of some magic mirror.

  5. fun photos and nice sweater! the vido looks a little too Tarantino-ish for me, and I do hope it isn't edible stuff they're splattering around, but paint (here I go, the eternal mother, reminding people not to play with food! :))

  8. You are the star of the show I`d say!
    Love the cardigan and your theatrics!!

    I saw his work at Hyde Park several years ago in London, my first time to see his work, and I loved those mirrors in the snowy white park, its interesting to see the colors here that you share and how the pieces change with each viewer and venue!!

    PS thank you for your fun comment and for watching my river dance-walk video

  12. That's why you should be the best leader that you can be. Give them great qualities to mimic. Calm is one trait that somebody may mimic, but they may also mimic panic if that's what you normally express. The same goes with traits like intelligence and kindness. Be the best that you can be so that others can "follow your lead."
