ARW is pleased to premiere the Experiments with Inflatable Bodies in a series of performances in Dresden Germany as part of the Holger John's Imaginares Museum, Elektrische Stadt series, July 9-13. Demonstrating pioneering new sculptural construction technique and control methods, these featherweight inflatable fabric kinetic sculptures both occupy space in ways different from all other ARW pieces, but move in new ways as well. Previous ARW machines were built primarily with metal, wood and plastic. Beginning with the Telescoping Totem Pole, 1996, and the Inflatable Mountains, part of the Amorphic Landscape, 2000, Chico MacMurtrie takes lightweight, audience-friendly interactive kinetic sculptures to their next stage of development.
