(India-born, UK sculptist) Anish Kapoor, (mostly known in the U.S. by “Cloud Gate” in Chicago’s Millennium Park opened last year) is planning to install yet another huge public art in NYC. This time in front of Rockefeller Center, the piece titled “Sky Mirror” (first installed in Nottingham Playhouse, UK in a smaller scale) is a 3-story high, contact-lens-like stainless steel, highly reflective to mirror the street life around as if it is through a drop of water. Kapoor’s work is famous for their contrasting qualities: material vs. immaterial; weight vs. weightless; tangible vs. intangible… Nevertheless, we should all take time to reflect, once a while.
