A selection of photos from the Calder exhibit. I was caught by how not only does the composition potentially change from moment to moment but the shadow cast by the mobiles offers a 2d take on them changing.

I was really struck by this Calder painting where the portrayal of forms physically joined together or overlapping suggests that is something he found interesting in his mobiles/stabiles. And by the small models which let him loosely figure out composition and balance; I figure the payoff of a largely unpredictable artwork balanced out the need to plan meticulously.
