  • Calder and Sound
    Gryphon Rue Rower-Upjohn Calderand Sound Herbert Matter, Alexander Calder, Tentacles (cf. Works section, fig. 50), 1947 “Noise is another whole dimension.” Alexander Calder 1 A mobile carves its habitat. Alternately seductive, stealthy, ostentatious, it dilates and retracts, eternally redefining space. A noise-mobile produces harmonic wakes – metallic collisions punctuating visual rhythms. 2 For Alexander Calder, silence is not merely the absence of sound – silence gen- erates anticipation, a bedrock feature of musical experience. The cessation of sound suggests the outline of a melody. 3 A new narrative of Calder’s relationship to sound is essential to a rigorous portrayal and a greater comprehension of his genius. In the scope of Calder’s immense œuvre (thousands of sculptures, more than 22,000 documented works in all media), I have identified nearly four dozen intentionally sound-producing mobiles. 4 Calder’s first employment of sound can be traced to the late 1920s with Cirque Calder (1926–31), an event rife with extemporised noises, bells, harmonicas and cymbals. 5 His incorporation of gongs into his sculpture followed, beginning in the early 1930s and continuing through the mid-1970s. Nowadays preservation and monetary value mandate that exhibitions of Calder’s work be in static, controlled environments. Without a histor- ical imagination, it is easy to disregard the sound component as a mere appendage to the striking visual mien of mobiles. As an additional obstacle, our contemporary consciousness is clogged with bric-a-brac associations, such as wind chimes and baby crib bibelots. As if sequestered from this trail of mainstream bastardi- sations, the element of sound in certain works remains ulterior.

  • Calder / Miró Constellations
    For Immediate Release Calder / Miró Constellations Pace Gallery Acquavella Galleries 32 East 57th Street, New York 18 East 79th Street, New York April 20 – June 30, 2017 April 20 – May 26, 2017 Joint Opening Reception: Wednesday, April 19, 5:30–8 p.m. New York—Pace Gallery and Acquavella Galleries are pleased to announce "Calder / Miró: Constellations," featuring the Constellations series of Alexander Calder and Joan Miró, respectively. The distinct yet complementary presentations illuminate the startling affinities between the two artists, who at the time the series were created, were separated by the Atlantic during World War II and unable to communicate. Presenting approximately 60 sculptures, paintings and works on paper in dialogue with one another, these shows highlight the varied formal, social and political concerns that informed the significant series—neither of which were actually named "Constellations" by the artists themselves. Calder: Constellations will be on view from April 20 through June 30 at Pace Gallery, 32 East 57th Street, and Miró: Constellations will be on view from April 20 through May 26 at Acquavella Galleries, 18 East 79th Street. A joint opening reception will be held on Wednesday, April 19 from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at both galleries. "This exhibition will be a landmark, both in our history of documenting the achievements of Alexander Calder and in our long and productive relationship with the Acquavella Galleries," says Marc Glimcher. "The two artists tapped into a powerful artistic current, which allowed them to create these unique but resonant series, while they were totally isolated from each other.

He created motorized works and later hanging sculptures, or “mobiles,” that rotate freely in response to airflow. Using wire, found objects, and industrial materials, Calder constructed three-dimensional line drawings of people, animals, and objects that he activated with kinetic verve.

  • Referencing Alexander Calder: a Dialogue in Contemporary Chinese Art, on View from September 7 Through October 7, 2017
    Referencing Alexander Calder: A Dialogue in Contemporary Chinese Art 525 West 22nd Street, New York September 7 – October 7, 2017 Opening Reception: Thursday, September 7, 6–8 PM Curated by Eli Klein Klein Sun Gallery is pleased to announce its ten year anniversary exhibition: Referencing Alexander Calder: A Dialogue in Contemporary Chinese Art, on view from September 7 through October 7, 2017. The exhibition includes selected works by Gao Ludi, Hong Hao, Hong Shaopei, Huang Rui, Jiang Pengyi, Li Jingxiong, Qin Jun, Shen Fan, Vivien Zhang, Yangjiang Group, and Zhao Yao. The gallery’s inaugural exhibition in 2007 Referencing Alexander Calder: A Dialogue in Modern and Contemporary Art consisted of unique works by modern artists such as Alexander Calder, Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró and Fernand Leger juxtaposed with the works of living artists such as Carmen Herrera, Joel Perlman, Monique Van Genderen and Amilcar de Castro. The overarching theme of the exhibition was Calder's art and its massive influence on his peers and contemporary artists. As a leader in the representation of Chinese contemporary art in the US for the past decade, Klein Sun Gallery now revisits its inaugural show. In ancient China, wind chimes were a fundamental part of Feng Shui where balances between Yin and Yang, flexibility and solidity, and movement and stability, were crucial. Alexander Calder is widely acknowledged as the originator of mobiles, a format within which he found a similar type of balance between the living and the mechanical. Calder encountered Chinese wind bells in his youth in San Francisco, influencing him from an early age.

His father was a painter and art teacher. Pablo liked to draw from an early age. His mother encouraged him to become an artist. When he was fourteen Pablo attended a famous art school in Barcelona, A few years later he went to another school in Madrid. However, Pablo did not want to paint like everyone else in art school. He wanted to create something new in his own style. Blue Period (1901-1904) In 1901, Pablo's close friend died. Pablo was living in Paris, France at the time and became very sad. For the next few years most of his painting used a lot of blue paint and had sad figures in them. Some people say he painted in the color blue because he was "feeling blue" and was sad.

  • Masterpiece: Mobiles by Alexander Calder
    Masterpiece: Mobiles by Alexander Calder Keywords: Mobiles, Stabile, Kinetic Grade: 1st Grade Month: November Activity: Standing Mobile Meet the Artist and his work: Alexander Stirling Calder was born on July 22,1898, in Lawnton, Pennsylvania. He was the second child of artist parents—his father was a sculptor and his mother a painter. His friends called him Sandy. For Christmas in 1909, Calder presented his parents with two of his first sculptures, a tiny dog and duck cut from a brass sheet and bent into formation. The duck is kinetic—it rocks back and forth when tapped. Even at age eleven, his facility in handling materials was apparent. Despite his talents, Calder did not originally set out to become an artist. He instead enrolled at the Stevens Institute of Technology after high school and graduated in 1919 with an engineering degree. He undertook a series of jobs but remained unsatisfied with his career choice Calder decided to pursue an art career and moved to New York in 1923, enrolling at the Art Students League. He also took a job illustrating for the National Police Gazette. In the fall of 1931, a significant turning point in Calder's artistic career occurred when he created his first truly kinetic sculpture and gave form to an entirely new type of art. The first of these objects moved by systems of cranks and motors, and were dubbed "mobiles" by Marcel Duchamp—in French mobile refers to both "motion" and "motive." (If you have a baby brother or sister, they may have a mobile of brightly colored animals dancing above their crib.) Calder soon abandoned the mechanical aspects of these works when he realized he could fashion mobiles that would undulate on their own with the air's currents.

Calder was one of the truly ground-breaking artists of the 20th century and as a pioneer of kinetic sculpture, played an essential role in shaping the history of modernism. Alexander Calder: Performing Sculpture will bring together approximately 100 works to reveal how Calder turned sculpture from a static object into a continually changing work to be experienced in real time. Alexander Calder initially trained as an engineer before attending painting courses at the Arts Students League in New York. He travelled to Paris in the 1920s where he developed his wire sculptures and by 1931 had invented the mobile, a term first coined by Marcel Duchamp to describe Calder’s motorised objects. The exhibition traces the evolution of his distinct vocabulary - from his initial years captivating the artistic bohemia of inter-war Paris, to his later life spent between the towns of Roxbury in Connecticut and Saché in France. The exhibition will feature the figurative wire portraits Calder created of other artists including Joan Miró 1930 and Fernand Léger c.1930, alongside depictions of characters related to the circus, the cabaret and other mass spectacles of popular entertainment, including Two Acrobats 1929, The Brass Family 1929 and Aztec Josephine Baker c.1929.
