Alexander Calder: Hypermobility Exhibition at The Whitney Museum 2017

Calder: Hypermobility focuses on the extraordinary breadth of movement and sound in the work of Alexander Calder. This exhibition brings together a rich constellation of key sculptures and provides a rare opportunity to experience the works as the artist intended-in motion. Regular activations will occur in the galleries, revealing the inherent kinetic nature of Calder’s work, as well as its relationship to performance. Influenced in part by the artist’s fascination and engagement with choreography, Calder’s sculptures contain an embedded performativity that is reflected in their idiosyncratic motions and the perceptual responses they provoke.
In the early 1930s, Calder invented an entirely new mode of art, the mobile-a kinetic form of sculpture in which carefully balanced components manifest their own unique systems of movement. These works operate in highly sophisticated ways, ranging from gentle rotations to uncanny gestures, and at times, trigger unpredictable percussive sounds. Calder: Hypermobility encompasses major examples of Calder’s work including early motor-driven abstractions, sound-generating Gongs, and standing and hanging mobiles.

Magnifique ces mobiles en mouvement dans l Espace.... Il y a une trentaine d années, sur les Champs Elysées, dans une Galerie avait été exposée une oeuvre de Monsieur Alexander Calder, style mécano avec roulement à billes qui suivait une trajectoire pour agir sur des leviers et créer une fontaine etc . ... C était superbe et nous avions passe l après midi à admirer et analyser son fonctionnement magique et génial..... Quel artiste fascinant. On adorait lui et Escher également avec ses dessins étranges comme la tour qui monte ou l'escalier qui descend! .... Toutes ces "bizarreries" qui relèvent d un esprit génial et créateur nous attiraient passionnément, curieusement.... Félicitations Monsieur. Respect et Admiration et Souvenirs
