Opening Reception, 2 March, "Melodic Motion"

Wetterling Gallery is pleased to present Melodic Motion, an exhibition dedicated to juxtaposing the significant intellectual and artistic interactions between #francoismorellet (1926-2016), #takis (1925-2019), #enricocastellani (1930-2017), George Rickey (1907-2002), Alberto Biasi (b.1937), and Jean Tinguely (1925-1991). 

Under the wide umbrella of Kinetic art and Postwar Avant-Garde, the current presentation puts forward the decades devoted by these artists to deconstructing traditional artmaking, including through motion in sculpture; the kinetic implication of light and the shifting of a person’s gaze; producing works using simple geometric forms such as lines, and circles. Each of these remarkable artists delivered unique contributions and propositions.

Melodic Motion features important works by each of these six artists. While existing individually, the notable works on view create a dialogue through shared features around movement and perception. Sharing components of a melodic motion in their intricate and complex mathematical structures, they seek to offer a timeless dialogue surrounding notions of form and motion.
