Richard Serra & the L.A. Dance Project

Richard Serra's monumental installation, "East-West / West-East," located in the vast desert landscape of Qatar, stands as a testament to the artist's mastery of scale and form. Erected in 2014, this striking piece consists of four towering steel plates, each measuring over 14 metres in height, that span across the arid desert landscape. Serra's deliberate positioning of these rust-coloured monoliths creates a profound sense of connection with the surrounding environment, emphasising the harmonious interplay between art and nature.
In 2022, the renowned contemporary dance company, L.A. Dance Project created a stunning piece of art in perfect harmony with Richard Serra's monumental artwork. Established in 2012 by Benjamin Millepied, a celebrated choreographer and former principal dancer with the New York City Ballet, this innovative dance ensemble has gained recognition for its boundary-pushing performances that seamlessly blend various dance styles, with a commitment to pushing the boundaries of traditional dance and a dedication to artistic exploration.
