Richard Serra: Thinking on Your Feet

US American artist and sculptor Richard Serra is planning the creation of a monumental installation for the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao: “The Matter of Time’” is made of seven giant steel structures to curve around a previous piece by Serra called Snake that was installed in 1997. It represents the largest work of its kind ever developed for a concrete space. We follow the development of the piece from drawing board to its final construction. The work, like its creator, attempts to challenge notions of form and technology on a giant scale. Serra’s aim was that this work would be experienced like a vortex, an unravelling, flowing structure and narrative to create disorientation but also a sense that it lives, it breathes, it implicates you in the space – like time itself.
