Title:

Hyundai Commission: El Anatsui: Behind the Red Moon

Brief Description:

This exhibition catalog accompanies the Hyundai Commission: El Anatsui: Behind the Red Moon, presented at Tate Modern's Turbine Hall from October 10, 2023, to April 14, 2024. The catalog delves into Anatsui's monumental installation, crafted from thousands of metal bottle tops and fragments, stitched together to form expansive abstract compositions. These undulating forms reflect on human history and the elemental power of nature, inviting viewers on a journey through three dynamic acts within the vast industrial space of the Turbine Hall. The publication includes high-quality reproductions of the installation, along with essays exploring Anatsui's creative process, thematic concerns, and the broader context of his work.
