Movement 4

Installation for the Project Atrium, Museum Of Contemporary Art Jacksonville, November 18, 2017 - February 18, 2018

Interested in the language of machines and film, Brooklyn-based artist J. C. Fontanive creates a multi-level kinetic sculpture of thin metal rods and linkages, pulleys, and colored shapes that cascade in the Atrium Gallery. In Movement 4, the structure simultaneously relies on gravity and an internally synced mechanical system to power the work. As the plant-like composition generates a choreography of movement and color, its moving parts produce a synced sound-and-image throughout the space. As with all of Fontanive's kinetic work, we're invited to look and listen. — MOCA Jacksonville
