Interview and cover story with Anish Kapoor - Elephant Magazine

8 April 2024

“I guess, historically we—and I use “we” very broadly, across the globe—have understood that public space in various ways, whether it’s the village, the town square, the inner-city or wherever the public space has deep symbolic realities. But, strangely, we’ve lost much of that. We’ve lost much of the symbolic power of shared space. It’s as if the capitalist agenda for the maximizing of square footage across most of the Western world has higher value than any shared public agenda. What a crying shame, and how pathetic of us on many levels!” – Anish Kapoor
