Featuring work by contemporary sculptors Arthur Ganson, Anne Lilly, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, and John Douglas Powers, and a 1968 work from the Museum’s collection by Vassilakis Takis. 5000 Moving Parts looks at artists for whom motion is a tool for expressing big ideas.
I wrote a blog about these artists and about histories of kinetic art as I’ve developed the exhibition. If you’re in the Boston area during the MIT Museum’s Year of Kinetic Art, please visit the exhibition and let me know what you think about it.
