Who is Arthur Ganson?
Arthur Ganson’s 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. Visit Ganson's website to see more of his amazing machines. Gansons works are on display at the MIT Museum in Cambridge, Massachusetts. text and images from the MIT museum page, 2012 |
