Arndt at Art Basel Hong Kong 2013
by ARNDT Berlin
Location: Hall 3, Booth C08, Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre
Artist(s): GROUP SHOW
Date: 23 May - 26 May 2013

Arndt will be presenting works from: Christine Ay Tjoe, Joseph Beuys, Sophie Calle, Zhou Chunya, Gilbert & George, FX Harsono, Jitish Kallat, Heinz Mack, Eko Nugroho, Mike Parr, Otto Piene, Chiharu Shiota, Nedko Solakov, Rodel Tapaya, Liu Wei, Entang Wiharso, Zhang Xiaogang, Jiechang Yang and Qiu Zhijie.

Jitish Kallat will also be featuring Circa at the Encounters section at Art Basel Hong Kong 2013. "Circa" is a completely handcrafted sculpture in 120 unique parts, cast in pigmented resin and steel. With intricate sculptural reliefs of mythic animal forms emerging from the surface of simulated bamboo stems, it is one of the most detailed and labour-intensive sculptures produced by Jitish Kallat. While 'Circa' in one glimpse appears to be a bamboo-scaffold, on closer viewing one will notice several detailed sculptural reliefs of animals devouring each other; this evocative imagery of mythic animals were referenced from the porch of the Victoria Terminus building in the center of Mumbai which two million people enter and exit every day. These sculptural protrusions recur throughout the sculptural installation like an image-script evoking alphabets that reappear in a sentence or within a word.
