NEW FORM AT THE FARM: ANISH KAPOOR'S DISMEMBERMENT SITE I
COORDINATING PRODUCER ALBERTA CHU (2010)
When international art sensation Anish Kapoor is approached by New Zealand art patron Alan Gibbs to create a site-specific work for Gibbs Farm, he endeavors to conceive his greatest work yet. The result is an enormous 75-meter long sculpture spanning a hill. The installation of the work requires the engineering of a major bridge. Running time: 30 minutes. Watch the entire film on the Gibbs Farm website.
