Gravity and Grace: Monumental Works by El Anatsui at MCASD Downtown

Printing plates

Anatsui does not supply a plan for the installation of his work. He allows the curators to decide on placement. I was told he tweaked this one a bit after arriving to the museum. The tweaking involved a bit of manhandling and bending. I bet the curators were freaking out.

I guess the artist doesn't have to pay attention to the sign. 

Hey Charles!

It's like a painting that spills onto the floor.

The exhibition includes a series of wood pieces. This was my favorite.

You better go see this exhibition.
