Still in Motion features the work of several Calder Prize awardees who are pushing the limits of sculpture through materials and references that speak uniquely to the contemporary moment. The exhibition will be presented concurrently with Calder: at home, among friends and is staged fifteen years after the San José Museum of Art’s exhibition Calder: Color in Motion, which explored Calder’s masterful and innovative transformations of form.
SF/Arts Curator Insight
Since 2005, the Calder Foundation has awarded the Calder Prize to contemporary artists whose innovative early works demonstrate their potential to shift how we think of art today. This exhibition highlights four artists who have received the prize in the past due to their transgressive approaches to sculpture. From paper plates to glass orbs, the materials the exhibiting artists utilize within their works challenge the limits of sculpture and its physical and conceptual principles. The works will be presented concurrently
with Calder: at home, among friends which highlights Alexander Calder’s personal life and aesthetics through works and small objects that filled his home and were shared with close friends and relatives.
