We sincerely thank the lenders who understood our desire to present work of the highest quality, and special thanks to our colleague Debbie Frydman whose suggestion to further explore kineticism resulted in Kinetic Masters & Their Legacy. LE MOUVEMENT - KINETIC ART INTO THE 21ST CENTURY In 1950s France, there was an active interaction and artistic exchange between the country’s capital and South America. Vasarely and many Alexander Calder put it so beautifully when he said: “Just as one composes colors, or forms, of the Grupo Madí artists had an exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts in Buenos Aires in 1957 so one can compose motions.” that was extremely influential upon younger generation avant-garde artists. Many South Americans, such as the triumvirate of Venezuelan Kinetic Masters & Their Legacy is comprised of a selection of works created by South American artists ranging from the 1950s to the present day. In showing contemporary cinetismo–Jesús Rafael Soto, Carlos Cruz-Diez, pieces alongside mid-century modern work, our exhibition provides an account of and Alejandro Otero—settled in Paris, amongst the trajectory of varied techniques, theoretical approaches, and materials that have a number of other artists from Argentina, Brazil, evolved across the legacy of the field of Kinetic Art.

  • L'occhio Motore
    Attualità e n. 143 Costume l’Oculista italiano “L’occhio motore” e il pensiero cinetico Visitare una mostra d’arte contemporanea può essere un’esperienza davvero ricca di stimoli interessanti, specialmente quando il visitatore viene immesso in percorsi lungo i quali si trova ad interrogarsi sulla sua stessa idea di “arte” ed a sperimentare sensazioni non comuni, sia di coinvolgimento ed empatia che di reazione o persino avversione nei confronti delle opere esposte. Questo è stato un po’ l’approccio, davvero ben realizzato, di una mostra, intitolata “L’Oe- il moteur, Art optique et cinétique, 1950-1975”, che è stata ospitata dal MAMCS, il Mu- seo di Arte Moderna e Contemporanea di Strasburgo.

  • Modern Abstraction in Latin America Cecilia Fajardo-Hill
    Modern Abstraction in Latin America Cecilia Fajardo-Hill The history of abstraction in Latin America is dense and multilayered; its beginnings can be traced back to Emilio Pettoruti’s (Argentina, 1892–1971) early abstract works, which were in- spired by Futurism and produced in Italy during the second decade of the 20th century. Nev- ertheless, the two more widely recognized pioneers of abstraction are Joaquín Torres-García (Uruguay, 1874–1949) and Juan del Prete (Italy/Argentina, 1897–1987), and more recently Esteban Lisa (Spain/Argentina 1895–1983) for their abstract work in the 1930s. Modern abstract art in Latin America has been circumscribed between the early 1930s to the late 1970s in Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and Venezuela, and in more recent years Colombia, Cuba and Mexico have also been incorporated into the historiography of abstraction. Fur- thermore, it is only recently that interest in exploring beyond geometric abstraction, to in- clude Informalist tendencies is beginning to emerge. Abstract art in Latin America developed through painting, sculpture, installation, architecture, printing techniques and photography, and it is characterized by its experimentalism, plurality, the challenging of canonical ideas re- lated to art, and particular ways of dialoguing, coexisting in tension or participation within the complex process of modernity—and modernization—in the context of the political regimes of the time. Certain complex and often contradictory forms of utopianism were pervasive in some of these abstract movements that have led to the creation of exhibitions with titles such as Geometry of Hope (The Blanton Museum of Art, Austin, 2007) or Inverted Utopias: Avant Garde Art in Latin America (The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, 2004).

  • Tina Rivers Ryan
    McLuhan’s Bulbs: Light Art and the Dawn of New Media Tina Rivers Ryan Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Tina Rivers Ryan All rights reserved ABSTRACT McLuhan’s Bulbs: Light Art and the Dawn of New Media Tina Rivers Ryan “McLuhan’s Bulbs” argues that the 1960s movement of “light art” is the primary site of negotiation between the discourses of “medium” and “media” in postwar art. In dialogue with the contemporaneous work of Marshall McLuhan, who privileged electric light as the ur- example of media theory, light art eschewed the traditional symbolism of light in Western art, deploying it instead as a cipher for electronic media. By embracing both these new forms of electronic media and also McLuhan’s media theory, light art ultimately becomes a limit term of the Greenbergian notion of medium-specificity, heralding the transformation of “medium” into “media” on both a technological and a theoretical level. This leads to a new understanding of the concept of media as not peripheral, but rather, central to the history and theory of contemporary art. Drawing on extensive archival research to offer the first major history of light art, the project focuses in particular on the work of leading light artist Otto Piene, whose sculptural “light ballets,” “intermedia” environments, and early video projects responded to the increasing technological blurring of media formats by bringing together sound and image, only to insist on the separation between the two. Piene’s position would be superseded by the work of light artists who used electronic transducers to technologically translate between light and other phenomena, particularly sounds.

  • Arte Programmata E Cinetica: Origini, Successo, Declino, Rinascita
    ARTE PROGRAMMATA E CINETICA: ORIGINI, SUCCESSO, DECLINO, RINASCITA È stata denominata come “l’ultima avanguardia”, ma non vi è stata avanguardia, nella seconda parte del secolo scorso, più abbarbicata e compenetrata con il nuovo che avanzava e soprattutto che sarebbe avanzato e che avanzerà, del movimento dell’Arte Programmata e Cinetica. E allo stesso tempo, pochi movimenti come questo, e poche espressioni artistiche hanno avuto tanti precedenti e tanti padri nobili: Tinguely, Schöffer, Moholy-Nagy, forse lo stesso Albers, e andando ancora più indietro, il movimento futurista, sospinto dallo slancio del dinamismo. Insomma, non si trattò di qualcosa di inconcludente e velleitario, sia pur mosso da possenti fremiti rivoluzionari, bensì di una fase dello sviluppo delle arti visive e delle arti applicate profondamente collegato e radicato con la storia stessa delle arti, e formidabilmente proiettato verso le avventure del futuro e della modernità. Qualcosa che ha permeato di sé buona parte dell’arte contemporanea, e di cui ancor oggi ritroviamo testimonianze massicce nei video, nelle installazioni, negli ambienti. L’ultima avanguardia, dunque, colma di lasciti non rigettati, ma anche la prima avanguardia fondante l’arte nuova. Per restare ai periodi, alle epoche più prossime, certamente uno dei padri del- l’arte programmata è stato Victor Vasarely, l’inventore solitario dell’Op Art, e cu- stode integralista di una religione dell’illusività formale dell’immagine.

  • Geometric Abstract Works: the Latin American Vision from the 1950S, 60S and 70S
    GEOMETRIC ABSTRACT WORKS: THE LATIN AMERICAN VISION FROM THE 1950S, 60S AND 70S HENRIQUE FARIA FINE ART Notwithstanding the recent Latin American extravaganzas at the Museum of Modern Art and NYU’s Grey Art Gallery, it is still remarkably unusual to see Latin American artists enjoy their due recognition. Without a doubt, both New Perspectives and The Geometry of Hope have made leaps to enhance our understanding of Latin America’s contribution to modern art. However, decades of oblivion cannot be recovered in a few years. Much indifference has left its mark on the reception of Latin American art in the United States. To cite but one example, the only Latin American included in the Guggenheim’s Abstraction in the 20th Century: Total Risk, Freedom, Discipline (1996) was Roberto Matta. This might seem odd given today’s tendency in the art world to be more inclusive and to embrace international artists. But histories get buried and when the time is right, they get found. The developments of geometric abstraction in Latin America is one such history. Seeking to counter this, Geometric Abstract Works: The Latin American Vision From The 1950s, 60s And 70s offers a rare opportunity to view works created by twenty-one Latin American artists during the seminal decades of the 1950s, 60s and 70s. Featuring works from an array of movements that flourished in different countries, the show presents a surprising array of paintings, sculptures and works on paper by some of the most important figures of the post-war era who embraced the legacy of Constructivism in Latin America.

  • Press Release
    press release Dynamo A century of light and motion in art, 1913-2013 10 april - 22 july 2013 Grand Palais Champs-Elysées entrance An exhibition organised by the Réunion des musées nationaux – Grand Palais. Notions of space, vision and light run through the abstract art of the 20th century and interest many world renowned contemporary artists such as Ann Veronica Janssens, Anish Kapoor, John Armleder, Carsten Höller, Philippe Decrauzat, Jeppe Hein, Felice Varini and Xavier Veilhan. By putting vibration along with the spectator’s perception in the centre of their works, they set up multiple resonances with optical and kinetic art, which first emerged at the Movement exhibition in Denise René’s Paris gallery in 1955, but also, more broadly, with what was later called “perceptual art” at the exhibition The Responsive Eye at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1965. In an unprecedented move, the whole of the Galeries nationales du Grand Palais, an area of about 3,700 square metres, has been made available for the exhibition, in order to present almost 150 artists, who contributed to the development of this approach over a hundred years or so. Outstanding among them are Julio Le Parc, François Morellet, Gianni Colombo, Jesús Rafael Soto, Dan Flavin, Hans Haacke, James Turrell, Yayoi Kusama, Victor Vasarely, Kenneth Noland, Jean Tinguely, Yaacov Agam, Tony Conrad, Pol Bury, Alexander Calder, Marcel Duchamp, Gerhard von Graevenitz, Christian Megert, Nicolas Schöffer, Bridget Riley, Dan Graham, Takis, Gregorio Vardanega, as group of artists such the GRAV (Group of visual Arts research), and the group Zero.
