The choice of the name “Artgender” derives from the consideration for which the brand that identifies a particular company that operates in the sectors of event planning, publishing and communication has never been used; for us art is a real type of human being, that is, who is deeper. Does not exclude anyone but renames a category, composed of very different people within… elsewhere I think, origin and direction; but, united by a single factor: the artistic one. Anyone can be or feel like an artist as long as he is concerned with producing or simply approaching any form of expression. Our identity is necessary, in things, in people, in words, in ways… that teaching contributes to formation ‘individual evolution.

The Bean by A.Kapoor

Interest of the Time, the New York Times and many others, the #art critic Edward Lifson called it “the largest public #work of art in the world”.

This majestic #sculpture from the early 2000s by the British artist Anish #Kapoor is nicknamed “The Bean” cause it recalls the shape of the legume.

☞ Do you know…

‣ The original name is “Cloud Gate” and it’s a structure made up of 168 stainless #steel plates welded so that no joining point is visible on the external surface.. this makes it perfectly smooth and shiny. Its huge dimensions are 10 × 20 × 13 meters and its weight is around 100 tons.

 

‣ It’s located in #Chicago Illinois (USA), at the center of the AT&T Plaza in Millennium Park and the studied location ensures that the #skyline of the city is reflected on it, offering spectators a fun game of very “photogenic” perspectives. It’s also possible to go inside, under the 3.7 meters arc where the “omphalos” (in Greek “navel”) is located, a concave chamber that curves and further distorts the reflected #images.
