'Anish Kapoor: Dissolving Margins' at Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art WSU, United States

2 July 2025

From 19 August – 14 March 2026, 'Anish Kapoor: Dissolving Margins', proposes a bold and extensive exhibition of Anish Kapoor’s four-decade-long printmaking practice, debuting at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at Washington State University.

Renowned for his beguiling experiments with optics in all media and material, Kapoor’s graphic oeuvre similarly evokes a sense of awe as we contemplate the hallucinatory qualities of heavily pigmented prints that appear to breathe, expand, and dissolve before our eyes. Elsewhere, especially in his earlier works, Kapoor explores organic and biological forms alongside an overarching metaphysical concern with expressions of presence and absence.

Adding resonance to the Kapoor exhibition will be the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art’s exterior façade. Designed by Jim Olson of Olson Kundig, the museum is wrapped in mirrored crimson glass. While the building reflects the campus life surrounding it, allowing one to perceive oneself within its reflection, it is also a mysterious form. Visually transitive, the perception of the building shifts with changes in light conditions, as well as the movement and angle of one’s gaze. In this respect, the building will amplify Kapoor’s investigations into visual perception and form, as well as his long-held fascination with the color red.
