ALEXANDER CALDER/ PERFORMING SCULPTURE

Performing Sculpture will explore the notion of performance as a driving force in Calder's sculpture and his use of other media incl uding drawing, design, film and theatre. It traces the evolution of his kinetic vocabulary, from his initial years entertaining the artistic bohemia of inter-war Paris with performances of his Circus, to his later life, when he became hugely popular for his mobile and stabile sculptures.
