Le Mouvement Vom Kino zur Kinetik
A group exhibition of kinetic art titled Le Mouvement mounted by the Denise René Gallery in Paris in 1955 introduced works by younger artists such as Jesús Rafael Soto, Jean Tinguely and Victor Vasarely, as well as showing pieces by their role models Marcel Duchamp and Alexander Calder. The show thus laid the foundation for the popularity of kinetics as a form of artistic expression. This publication also sheds light on the historic roots of kinetic art in avant-garde film, photography and the fine arts of the 1920s and 30s. Many of the artists took their inspiration in particular from experimental film with its exploration of the relationships between light, time, space and rhythm. The catalog accompanies an exhibition taking place at the Museum Tinguely Basel from February 10 to May 16, 2010.
