El Anatsui: Triumphant Scale (Kunstmuseum Bern)
Curated by Okwui Enwezor and Chika Okeke-Agulu in collaboration with Kathleen Bühler, Kunstmuseum Bern is the next stop for the monumental retrospective, El Anatsui: Triumphant Scale. The exhibition focuses on the development of Anatsui’s work and reveals how it evolved from drawings, wooden sculptures carved with chainsaw, and the ceramics he produced in the early years of his famous artistic career to his large sculptures of recycled bottle caps that decorate whole walls like magnificent tapestries.
Due to the emergence and spread of the deadly COVID19, it is unfeasible to expect visitors at the museum in person at present.
