Richard Serra, Monumenta 2008
The recently renovated Grand Palais is one of the great historic buildings of Paris, and the world. Created for the 1900 Exposition Universelle, this monumental exhibition space features a glass roof rising to a height of 45 metres beneath its central dome. The vast 'nave' extends for 200 metres at ground level, covering some 13,500 square metres in a single span.
In this majestic building from two years has taken place Monumenta an annual event which featured some of today's greatest living artists as Anselm Kiefer for the first edition in 2007 and Richard Serra in 2008. Any artist is invited to create a series of new installations especially for the huge volumes of the Palais.
Next guests will be Christian Boltanski ( January- February 2010), Anish Kapoor(2011) and Daniel Buren (2012).
