Colibri colour crayon on paper, steel, brass, aluminum and electronics – 10 x 10 x 10 cm (2012)
Monday 20th February – Saturday 24th March 2012
Brooklyn-based Juan Fontanive’s third solo exhibition at Riflemaker consists of a series of kinetic sculptures which move in sequence using metal linkages, rubber belts, pulleys and drives. The mechanisms are choreographed as individual elements working together like components in a song – each machine having its own sound crucial to the whole group. As with all of Fontanive’s work, we’re invited to look and listen.
