Anish Kapoor's current exhibition at the Gladstone Gallery, New York comprises of a-typical conglomerate coils of concrete the appears to melt towards the earth. Kapoor explores the objects changing and transient materiality and observes it's natural movements and connection. I am currently attempting to make some sort of connection  between these works and his Arcelor Mittal Orbit in the Olympic park. The Orbits convoluted structure and twisting geodesic character may in a way be applicable to question the organic and inorganic quality here of steel of which 60% of it was recycled. It may be advisable to visit both these works before passing further judgement, yet there is a hugely contrasting dialogue held between these two contemporary works made by the same artist.
