Home - Jeremy Geddes Art Arthur Ganson's Machines / Kinetic Sculpture SCULPTURES LUMINEUSES | Fabienne Yvert LA NAISSANCE DE LA LUMIÈRE Une dizaine de jours sans néons ni ampoules de 100 W, le soir à côté du sapin de Noël, éclairé par les guirlandes lumineuses et le reflet des boules rouges & guirlandes argentées. Avec l’odeur enivrante des aiguilles de pin, l’ombre géante de l’étoile filante accrochée tout-en-haut & des branches qui se découpent sur le mur. Accroupis au pied avec mon frère, on regarde. Des fois on la fait clignoter mais ça énerve un peu. Dans la crèche, arrivé là le 25 décembre, un Jésus en plastique phosphorescent sur son lit de paille, aussi fascinant qu’un vers luisant. L’USINE DES RÊVES 1989 – La petite usine est la lampe initiale. AU COURANT Dans la nuit, réveillée par une très forte lumière, un moteur de bateau & des voix énervées qui guettent les rochers tout près du bord.
Frederick Rowland Emett Visivision Machine, one of the "Things" created by Rowland Emett Frederick Rowland Emett (22 October 1906 – 13 November 1990) OBE, known as Rowland Emett (with the forename sometimes spelled "Roland" [as his middle name appears on his birth certificate] and the surname frequently misspelled "Emmett"), was an English cartoonist and constructor of whimsical kinetic sculpture. Early life[edit] Emett was born in New Southgate, London, the son of a businessman and amateur inventor, and the grandson of Queen Victoria's engraver. He was educated at Waverley Grammar School in Birmingham, where he excelled in drawing, caricaturing his teachers and vehicles and machinery. Later work[edit] An otherwise undistinguished career was interrupted by World War II, when he worked as a draughtsman for the Air Ministry while perfecting his gift for drawing cartoons. On 12 April 1941 he married Elsie May Evans (who was always known as Mary[2]), the daughter of a Birmingham silversmith. Exhibitions[edit]
J.W. Kinsey's Artifice Portfolio "the Hesterion: a wall sconce" - industrial grade resin, assorted electronics This is the Hesterion Wall Sconce. These are intended to be installed in multiples, surrounding a window or running down a hallway or library, for example. They do not need an existing electrical junction box, but rather simply surface mount to a wall with two screws. The knob at the bottom of the fixture is the rotary On/Off switch. The master pattern was entirely handmade in cherry wood, then molds were made for casting. If you purchase the "Unfinished" variant, you will receive a cleaned casting ready for paint. The electrical components included in the package are two UL listed light sockets, a rotary on/off switch, and two 40 watt Edison light bulbs. For questions about purchasing your own Hesterion Wall Sconce, please contact me for details, or go to my ETSY store. Photos by Curtis Almquist Studios.
Chuck Hoberman Hoberman (right) speaking with MIT design professor Neri Oxman Chuck Hoberman (born 1956 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, US) is an artist, engineer, architect, and inventor of folding toys and structures, most notably the Hoberman sphere. Early life and education[edit] Hoberman's father was an architect, and his mother was a children's book author.[1] He wanted to be an artist from an early age, doing drawing and painting, and eventually taking courses at Cooper Union in New York City. Temporary and permanent installations[edit] The largest Hoberman sphere is displayed at Liberty Science Center in Jersey City, New Jersey, in an atrium where it periodically contracts and then expands to a diameter of 18 feet (5.5 m). Hoberman has installed permanent building facades that transform in transparency at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering of Harvard University and the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics at SUNY Stony Brook.[2] Toys[edit] Business[edit] Teaching[edit]

Theo Jansen Theo Jansen (born 1948) is a Dutch artist. In 1990, he began what he is known for today: building large mechanisms out of PVC that are able to move on their own, known only as Strandbeest. His animated works are a fusion of art and engineering; in a car company (BMW) television commercial Jansen says: "The walls between art and engineering exist only in our minds." He strives to equip his creations with their own artificial intelligence so they can avoid obstacles by changing course when one is detected, such as the sea itself. Early life[edit] Jansen was born in 1948, in Scheveningen in the Netherlands. Before the Strandbeest: a UFO[edit] Before Jansen began his life's work, of building mechanical animals out of PVC, he undertook a project that would inspire him to use PVC on other projects. The UFO: In 1979 Jansen started using PVC pipes (which were very cheap) to build a 4 meter wide flying saucer that was filled with helium. Before the Strandbeest: a painting machine[edit]
James Corbett | Car Part Sculptor Jean Tinguely The Tinguely Fountain in front of the Tinguely Museum in Basel Jean Tinguely (22 May 1925 – 30 August 1991) was a Swiss painter and sculptor. He is best known for his sculptural machines or kinetic art, in the Dada tradition; known officially as metamechanics. Tinguely's art satirized the mindless overproduction of material goods in advanced industrial society. Life[edit] Tinguely grew up in Basel, but moved to France in 1952 with his first wife Swiss artist Eva Aeppli,[1] to pursue a career in art. His best-known work, a self-destroying sculpture titled Homage to New York (1960), only partially self-destructed at the Museum of Modern Art, New York City, although his later work, Study for an End of the World No. 2 (1962), detonated successfully in front of an audience gathered in the desert outside Las Vegas. Tinguely married fellow Swiss artist Eva Aeppli in 1951. Public works[edit] Noise music recordings[edit] Influence on others[edit] See also[edit] Further reading[edit] References[edit]
Old ships from “new” materials — John Taylor | Detour Art John Taylor 1954 — San Juan Capistrano, CA Sculptures from found objects When you look at John Taylor’s ships, is hard to believe that they haven’t just been pulled from the ocean floor. (OK – you can believe it, but the patina is even more amazing once you realize that many of the parts that John uses to create these intricate sculptures are pulled from computer parts and treated to look like rusty metal…no easy feat with plastic. John is a landscape architect by trade, and spends his evenings and weekends working on his ships in his garage, while he keeps an eye on his kids playing hockey in the drive. His ships are based on actual vessels, from Civil War-era river boats to WWI battleships. Working with found objects collected from around his southern California surroundings, John works in his garage on evenings and weekends. “There is only one family ancestor that I resemble, and in the photograph I have of him he wears the military cap and uniform of the Spanish-American War.
Naum Gabo Early life[edit] Gabo grew up in a Jewish family of six children in the provincial Russian town of Bryansk, where his father owned a factory. His older brother was fellow Constructivist artist Antoine Pevsner; Gabo changed his name to avoid confusion with him. After school in Kursk, Gabo entered Munich University in 1910, first studying medicine, then the natural sciences, and attended art history lectures by Heinrich Wölfflin. Constructivism[edit] After the outbreak of war, Gabo moved first to Copenhagen then Oslo with his older brother Alexei, making his first constructions under the name Naum Gabo in 1915. Gabo contributed to the Agit-prop open air exhibitions and taught at 'VKhUTEMAS' the Higher Art and Technical Workshop, with Tatlin, Kandinsky and Rodchenko. In Germany Gabo came into contact with the artists of the de Stijl and taught at the Bauhaus in 1928. Gabo's Theory of Art[edit] Gabo’s vision is imaginative and passionate.
