From May 7 through May 31, Calder Gardens screens four films and videos commissioned by the Calder Foundation in 2017 and originally curated by Vic Brooks. The series extends Alexander Calder’s longstanding dialogue with moving image — evident in his collaborations with filmmakers including Herbert Matter and Hans Richter — into contemporary practice, with each film produced in direct response to Calder’s inquiry into form, movement, and time.

The films include When Sandy Dreams (Agnès Varda), Shape Notes (Lucy Raven), Enigmatic Whisper (Rosa Barba), and Calder for Peter (Ephraim Asili). Each articulates a shared interest in duration and transformation, activating the moving image field as a site of relation and perceptual encounter.

Pictures in Motion screens all day during Calder Gardens open hours. Free with admission.
