Calder Foundation President, Alexander S. C. Rower, discusses the influence of the circus arts on Calder’s work, and the origins of „Cirque Calder“ (1926-1931).
The exhibition „Alexander Calder & Fischli/Weiss“ focuses on the fleeting, precarious and exhilarating moment of fragile balance as expressed through the works of Calder and Fischli/Weiss in the early- and late-twentieth century, respectively. Their exemplary formulations for that moment seem at first sight to be completely dissimilar, but on closer examination they prove to be two sides of the same coin, resulting from different perspectives on the same theme at different times.
