Download or read book Keep It Moving? written by Rachel Rivenc and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2018-03-13 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kinetic art not only includes movement but often depends on it to produce an intended effect and therefore fully realize its nature as art. It can take a multiplicity of forms and include a wide range of motion, from motorized and electrically driven movement to motion as the result of wind, light, or other sources of energy. Kinetic art emerged throughout the twentieth century and had its major developments in the 1950s and 1960s. Professionals responsible for conserving contemporary art are in the midst of rethinking the concept of authenticity and solving the dichotomy often felt between original materials and functionality of the work of art. The contrast is especially acute with kinetic art when a compromise between the two often seems impossible. Also to be considered are issues of technological obsolescence and the fact that an artist’s chosen technology often carries with it strong sociological and historical information and meanings. www.getty.edu/publications/keepitmoving

Book Synopsis Drawing on the Air by : Tim Prentice
Download or read book Drawing on the Air written by Tim Prentice and published by Easton Studio Press, LLC. This book was released on 2012-06-19 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the New York Times Michael Kimmelman called them "sleek, whimsical contraptions in a modernist mode"; the Basler Zeitung termed them "net-like structures . . . like hedgehogs or serpents." The kinetic sculptures of Tim Prentice create a novel geometry of air and light. Concentrating on movement rather than object, Prentice harnesses natural elements into his art machines-delicate structures that walk the tightrope between order and chaos, control and serendipity, understated technique and extravagant wonder. Prentice purposely circumscribes the artist's prerogatives, distilling the power of wind and sun into an ever-changing dance of light and shadow. These understated, subtle inventions provide endless distraction, delighting the child in all of us. Drawing on Air offers a many-sided vision of the kinetic sculptor and his works. An essay by Nicholas Fox Weber introduces the artist and his work, while a chapter on "Mechanics" explains some of the physical principles underlying Prentice's whimsical sculptures. Photographs of works-in-progress, principal public commissions as well as occasional pieces created for casual amusement are punctuated by the artist's mordant, sometimes mischievous comments. "Prentice's sculptures . . .are about fluid movement and change, reminding us that everything is in flux. . . . Wonders of engineering, they create evanescent drawings in thin air." -Michael Amy, Art in America "What is grand in these sculptures is the sense of immensity created by their movements, a sense resonant with our most pleasurable apprehensions of land, sea, and sky." -Elaine Bleakney, Sculpture "These refined sculptures are never ponderous, plump or boring but constantly and slowly transforming themselves as though imbued by perpetuum mobile." -Karen Gerig, Basler Zeitung Experiencing Tim Prentice's work is like taking a ride on a roller coaster" -Catalog of the Connecticut Biennial

Book Synopsis Movement, Time, Technology, and Art by : Christina Chau
Download or read book Movement, Time, Technology, and Art written by Christina Chau and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-06-12 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the ways in which artists use technology to create different perceptions of time in art in order to reflect on contemporary relationships to technology. By considering the links between technology, movement and contemporary art, the book explores changing relationship between temporality in art, art history, media art theory, modernity, contemporary art, and digital art. This book challenges the dominant view that kinetic art is an antiquated artistic experiment and considers the changing perception of kinetic art by focusing on exhibitions and institutions that have recently challenged the notion of kinetic art as a marginalised and forgotten artistic experiment with mechanical media. This is achieved by deconstructing Frank Popper’s argument that kinetic art is a precursor to subsequent explorations in the intersections between art, science and technology. Rather than pandering to the prevailing art historical assumption that kinetic sculpture is merely a precursor to art in a digital culture, the book proposes that perhaps kineticism succeeded too well, where movement has become a ubiquitous element of the aesthetic of contemporary art. If, as Boris Groys has recently suggested, installation has become the dominant mode of art in the contemporary age, then movement in real time with the viewer is used to aestheticise and explore the facets of our peculiar time.

Book excerpt: Background: The Kinetic Grand Championship Sculpture Race is a 3-day, 42-mile human-powered race over land, sand, mud and water. Participants travel 50 miles from the Arcata plaza to Ferndale. It is widely considered the ¿Triathlon of the Art World¿ and occurs every Memorial Day weekend in Humboldt County, in Northern California. 2018 will be the 50th running of the race.Summary: Kinetic Kompendium investigates the fascinating 50-year history of this unique, annual 3-Day race. Most people know that the race was started by a friendly wager between Jack Mays and Hobart Brown, and escalated into an 11-sculpture race on Mother¿s Day, 1969, in Ferndale, CA. Since that first epic event, there have been thousands of people involved in the race. Over the years, racers, builders, artists and photographers have participated in the grueling all-terrain spectacle. This book weaves their stories and pictures together to create a comprehensive overview of the life of the race since its origins.The book is currently a 600 page, full-color book, containing essays, interviews, race results from all 50 years and newly unearthed photos, reproductions and ephemera from the race. This Kompendium is primarily a historical document that will preserve the rich history of the Kinetic Sculpture race in one source. The race has a tremendous economic, creative and emotional impact on the local community every year, and over the years most of the people in Humboldt county have been connected to it in one way or another.
Book Synopsis Moving Imagination by : Helena De Preester
Download or read book Moving Imagination written by Helena De Preester and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2013-05-29 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together contributions by philosophers, art historians and artists who discuss, interpret and analyse the moving and gesturing body in the arts. Broadly inspired by phenomenology, and taking into account insights from cognitive science, the contribution of the motor body in watching a film, attending a dance or theatre performance, looking at paintings or drawings, and listening to music is explored from a diversity of perspectives. This volume is intended for both the specialist and non-specialist in the fields of art, philosophy and cognitive science, and testifies to the burgeoning interest for the moving and gesturing body, not only in the creation but also in the perception of works of art. Imagination is tied to our capacity to silently resonate with the way a work of art has been or is created.
