“Black was Calder’s vocabulary, because it neutralized the surface to a certain degree, and you could experience the edge. […] And the edges, as they interact – actually moving in the mobile, or in the stabiles – you have a dynamic experience of that radiant energy coming off the edge.” —Sandy Rower
Currently on view at Hauser & Wirth in Los Angeles is Calder: Nonspace (through January 6, 2019) – the gallery’s first exhibition in Los Angeles devoted to Alexander Calder (1898 – 1976), organized in collaboration with the Calder Foundation. With thirty primarily monochromatic works on view, in a custom environment designed by architect and designer Stephanie Goto, the exhibition highlights the activation of the spatial environment by Calder’s sculptures. In this video, Rower and Goto discuss the exhibition.
