Ganson returned to the Exploratorium to create another fluttering,
shaking, falling, exploding, chain-reaction event!

from the dress rehearsal! |
As
part of our 2nd Wednesdays art series, the museum floor was lined
with mechanisms designed to create one long series of physical events.
View the webcast to watch complex
mechanisms slide, roll, burn, pour, push, pull, bump, and grind,
passing energy from one object to another to create a theatrical
play about movement and physical reality.
Ganson
has exhibited his delightfully quirky works at MIT;
Dartmouth College; Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts; Technorama in
Winterthur, Switzerland; and Harvard University. He has pieces in
the permanent collections of New England Biolabs Foundation, The
Edelston/Boardroom Collection, DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park,
and in numerous private collections. Smithsonian magazine,
A Guide to Public Art in Greater Boston, and Leonardo
have all written about him, and he has been an artist in residence
at MIT, Liberty Science Center, Northeastern University, andthanks
to the Osher
Fellowship Programwas here at the Exploratorium.
