Sculpture in Motion
The Atlanta Botanical Garden has a kinetic sculpture exhibit through October 31st. The show includes a couple of artists I blogged about before ( see the Tim Prentice and Sachiko Kodama posts).
In addition to Prentice's & Kodama's works, Zachary Coffin's Rockspinner 6 (2007) stands out:
To build the sculpture, Coffin found the exact center of gravity of the five-ton granite boulder and inset an extremely low-friction bearing and installed it on top of a stainless steel shaft.
Also notable is David Fried's Self Organizing Still Life (SOS), Terra Incognita (2008, 34" x 55" x 67"):
Other self-organizing still lifes (lives?) can be seen here.
I'm struck how Coffin and (especially) Fried have hidden the high tech processes & materials to present a seemingly simply work of art.
