I had to save it in my blog..<br /><br />I love anything that engages and uses the environment around it. There are a few 2D artists that have done a pretty good job of doing that, although I think of them more as in the category of full blown installation because of it. As far as painting, Rothko would be one. As far as blatant public work, Banksy and JR. Because I'm a sculptor I'm inclined to be a little more impressed with their work. It's not something I can wrap my mind around. It seems a little more difficult to conceive and instigate.Jyotihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08930301862493132019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3495818206789941876.post-44055465522986427662010-11-04T18:27:59.306-07:002010-11-04T18:27:59.306-07:00Hi Spudart -

Very colorful, playful and would enliven any trite space. I saw his "Mobile" sculpture at Milwaukee Art Msueum..<br />http://chicago-outdoor-sculptures.blogspot.com/2010/07/red-black-and-blue-mobile-sculpture-by.html<br /><br />You are right in pointing out they look almost two dimensional and they move very little.. However I am no expert on Calder.. Except for liking his work, whenver I have seen them, I have no in-depth knowledge on his body of work!Jyotihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08930301862493132019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3495818206789941876.post-38596090078369723172010-11-03T15:47:16.936-07:002010-11-03T15:47:16.936-07:00I just discovered your blog, and now you have a ne...I just discovered your blog, and now you have a new subscriber. Great points on creating sculpture is different than painting. The nature, the physicalness, the process. The reality of the sculpture existing in in space. <br /><br />It's shed new light on why I enjoy sculpture. <br /><br />I'm curious what you think of Calder's mobiles. They are three-dimensional, but they are also (in my mind) very two-dimensional in a way. The show at the Museum of Contemporary Art of his works revealed to me how little they actually move.Matt Maldrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12589044056172003151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3495818206789941876.post-38767856993125708792010-10-26T19:40:32.133-07:002010-10-26T19:40:32.133-07:00Aww Thanks Nicole!

The process and problem solving involved in translating thought into physical dimensional form is probably my biggest reason for pursuing sculpture over other forms of expression. Sometimes I feel like the end piece is the byproduct of something bigger.<br /><br />cheers,<br />jAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3495818206789941876.post-80168553906851810952010-10-22T08:24:21.831-07:002010-10-22T08:24:21.831-07:00This is not only the best blog on Public Art in Ch...This is not only the best blog on Public Art in Chicago.
