Since 2005, the Calder Foundation has awarded the Calder Prize to contemporary artists whose innovative early works demonstrate their potential to shift how we think of art today. Still in Motion features the work of several Calder Prize awardees—Tara Donovan, Jill Magid, Tomás Saraceno, and Aki Sasamoto—who are pushing the limits of sculpture through materials and references that speak uniquely to the contemporary moment. The exhibition will be presented concurrently with Calder: at home, among friends and is staged fifteen years after the San José Museum of Art’s exhibition Calder: Color in Motion, which explored Alexander Calder’s masterful and innovative transformations of form. Still in Motion honors the artist’s legacy as it continues to inspire artistic practice today.
