Ulrich Museum of Art at Wichita State UniversityArt On SpeedAugust 21 – December 17, 2010
Conveying the abstract notion of speed challenged artists since the early 20th century, when the invention of photography and advent of the automobile offered an exciting and entirely new vantage point from which to experience time and space. This challenge continues today to engage artists around the globe. In Art on Speed, works by a carefully selected group of current international artists creatively express this physically quantifiable and visually illusive concept. These artworks will be shown with images by the pioneering American photographer Harold Edgerton (1903–1990). A professor of electrical engineering, Edgerton invented the stroboscopic light that allowed for photography of motion in visible sequential segments. His fascination with capturing motion in images lives on in the work of this exhibition’s contemporary artists. In sculpture, painting, photography and video, they each create arresting works of art that explore speed, in concept and image. |
