We took several photos of two works by this artist. Born in 1944 in Ghana, Anatsui is considered one of Africa's most renowned sculptors. His art degrees are from universities in Ghana in the 1960s. Currently he is a professor of sculpture at the University of Nigeria. He had two one person shows in 2006, one in New York and one in Milan.
As you can see, this work is an enormous wall hanging or tapestry. I have no idea how heavy it is, but it is made out of small pieces of foil or wrappers from bottles. Since much of his work is done with a chain saw, I wonder whether he collected these small pieces of foil or more likely cut larger pieces in the size and shape he wanted.
You can see another photo and read more about the Biennale in an article by Michael Kimmelman in his June 15 New York Times piece reviewing the Biennale.

It was my sisters old computer, which always worked fine for her but when put it in my room it no longer works properly. The keyboard and mouse are still on, the number lock light is illuminated, but when i hit Cap lock the light doesn't come on. The computer isn't frozen, the clock works and the little hour glass appears by the mouse. Because the buttons don't work Ctrl Alt Del doesn't work, or Alt F4. I can't open a virus scan either.
