Touching sculpture
Bon Jour Marc,
Not familiar with the Jean Arp Foundation near Paris (I'll look it up
next time I'm there), but I had to resort to a video tape of an
installation sculpture I did back in 1987.
It wasn't about 'touch' so much as there was no way to take photos or
slides of it -- it was an odd-shaped room: 13 feet (about three meters)
bysix feet (perhaps a meter-and-a-half). The piece was a 16-element
wallpiece made mostly of limestone but fitted with glass and some
applied gold leaf, and went around three of the four walls (the fourth
wall was the door).
A moving video was the only way to record it so it made sense when
viewed -- individual slides or photos were simply details.
I have not ever transferred the edited video to digital, so I cannot
even put it up on my website -- sorry! But I thought since you
described the process . . .
Good Carving (filming?) to you,
Don
