Item Description
Admission for four to the MIT Museum in Cambridge PLUS a private, 1-hour guided tour of "Gestural Engineering" with artist-in-residence Arthur Ganson.
About the Exhibit
Kinetic sculptures are a special feature of the MIT Museum.
Press a pedal or turn a crank and you’ll put Ganson’s machines into motion. Take the artist’s invitation: "The objects are part of a cycle. I take an idea from my heart, but it is not complete until you have seen it, and found your own meaning in it."
His sculptures explore the nature of oiled surfaces, object manipulation and slow explosions, and are created from a range of materials that he fabricates or finds.
About the Artist
Arthur Ganson began making kinetic sculpture in 1977. Since receiving a BFA degree at the University of New Hampshire in 1978 his work has been exhibited in numerous galleries and museums in both the United States and Europe. He has held residencies at a number of institutions including the Exploratorium in San Francisco and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, where he has maintained an ongoing exhibition of his sculpture since 1995.
