Between 1960 and 1965, five standing mobiles by Alexander Calder were picked up from the artist’s studio in France and sent to his dealers in New York and Paris. According to Calder Foundation, the top of each standing mobile was mismatched with the base of one of the other sculptures it had departed with. One of these mobiles, currently untitled and undated, was purchased by the Calder Foundation at auction this year. It is the intention of the Foundation to reunite the top with its original base in the future. Until that time arrives, the sculpture has been placed in artist Jill Magid’s long term care. Today, as part of Calder: Hypermobility, Magid will activate the standing mobile by passing through its transitory states, setting the work into motion beyond Calder’s intention. Live activations will take place at the top of the hour from 1–5 pm in our theater!

See, that’s what the app is perfect for.
