Contemporary Art #14: Alexander Calder
On the occasion of the centenary of Alexander Calder’s arrival in France and the fiftieth anniversary of his death, the Fondation presents the exhibition “Calder. Rêver en Equilibre.”
This exhibition spans half a century of creation, from the late Protected content and the first staging of the artist’s Cirque Calder performances that captivated the Parisian avant-garde, to the monumental sculptures that redefined public art in the Protected content and Protected content . At the Fondation, Calder’s mobiles – floating within Frank Gehry’s architecture – transform the exhibition into a choreographed dance.
The exhibition will highlight Calder’s fundamental artistic concerns: movement above all, but also light, reflection, humble materials, sound, the ephemeral, gravity, performance, and the interplay of positive and negative space.
