On the occasion of the Pictures in Motion screenings of works commissioned by the Calder Foundation in 2017, Calder Gardens hosts the next People Talking program on Thursday, May 14 from 6:00 to 7:30 PM. The conversation features Alexander S. C. Rower — Alexander Calder’s grandson and president of the Calder Foundation — alongside Vic Brooks, curator of the 2017 film commission. Juana Berrío, Marsha Perelman Senior Director of Programs at Calder Gardens, moderates.

Expanding on Calder’s relationship to sound and moving image, the conversation situates his practice within a broader transdisciplinary field. A prolific artist working across media and in dialogue with collaborators from diverse disciplines, Calder approached form as an open system — one that continues to unfold through contemporary artistic inquiry.

Tickets: $35 general admission, $25 members.
