Calder and Contemporary Art II: Sculpting with Air
@ Museum of Contemporary Art
220 E Chicago Ave, Chicago, IL 60611
Opening Saturday, October 16th, at 3PM
Modern master Alexander Calder treated air as material, mobility as strategy, and sculptural form as precariously balanced prop. In this closing conversation, UCLA professor and art historian George Baker and Glasgow-based artist Martin Boyce look at the roots of these approaches in Calder’s sculptures and in Boyce’s own work, and help us consider their current relevance in an increasingly provisional, weightless, and contingent world.
