I chose Alexander Calder because I think his work is interesting in that it he is a kinetic artist. In his performance “Le Grand Cirque,” he uses strings and kinetic energy to make his figures move. He is known for his invention of the mobile as well as for his other sculpture. Most of his…

I’m choosing to talk about the photographer Leonard Nimoy. Most know him only as Spock from Star Trek, but he is also a producer, director, writer, and a photographer. He has been for over 40 years. His favorite thing to photograph is naked women. He doesn’t title his work, preferring to focus on the content…

He is well known for creatively using light, sound, and space to interact with his audience. The exhibit was called “Take your…

Liquid Space 6.0 is an interactive space which physically becomes bigger, smaller and brighter in relation to human behavior. This interactive fusion of mechanisms, embedded electronics, sound and LED’s creates an organic dialogue with its visitors.

This is a little old, but I feel that it’s very interesting and relevant. Some people figure out how to get inside a road sign to change the text and publish the details. It describes what we see as private vs. public information, and how access to that information has changed with technology. I think…

I was really impressed with the way that Irwin views his pieces and how he feels about them. I thought it was very interesting when he decided to paint something that doesn’t stop at the edge, and also how he doesn’t see himself as a minimalist but he is more focused on a reduction that…

Robert Irwin seemed very optimistic about his work and life in general. I found Irwin’s simplistic concepts very interesting. His work using the reflective plastic sheets and his project using the lights were very simple yet intriguing.  Irwin works with a group of people who all have different skills, some that others may not have….

Even though I wasn’t present last friday, I googled several of Irwin’s works and Pace Wildenstein is one of my favorite. I like it because of the red lights on the wall, it reminded me of candy. I could relate this to the project that my group is working on. One thing that they both…

I really enjoyed watching Robert Irwin develop and create his ideas. On first glance I really didn’t like his work, but after seeing the process he goes through to produce his pieces I began to appreciate his creations. He has very simplistic project ideas that are so big they engulf the viewer. He likes to…
