When art becomes permanent
This artwork was once a part of the exhibition, Sanctuaries, by 2020 Artist-in-Residence, Kamran Samimi. After his residency ended, the largest sculpture in the Ascendants series made of CorTen™ steel was installed in Shangri La’s Moon Garden.
It was a true collaboration between Shangri La’s Conservation and Operations teams to permanently install the artwork that was originally designed to stand in the museum’s Central Courtyard.
