Jannis Kounellis
First exhibited in a palace in Italy, this sculpture was originally placed in a room overlooking a Romanesque cathedral. Although the bells are tilted at slight angles and appear as though about to chime, Kounellis has fixed them in place using tightly knotted ropes. Silenced, and suggesting a potent mix of weight and gravity, the bells bring to mind the anticipation and solemnity of religious ceremonies.

This is my dear cousin Chelsea’s life in Bangledesh right now while she’s in grad school. We are so proud of her but we miss her so much! Thanks for the video Chelsea!
