The Calder Question - Season 1
Calder Foundation and TRLab have joined forces with two-time Emmy® Award-winning motion designer Raoul Marks to create 5 limited edition NFT artworks for Season 1 of The Calder Question based on these 5 Calder mobiles:
- Vertical Foliage, 1941
- Eucalyptus, 1940
- Snow Flurry, 1948
- Tines, 1943
- Untitled, 1956
Raoul Marks: "I was intrigued by Tines’ ability to elevate simple everyday objects. Reality is fascinating when you alter our perception of its scale and relativity. The similarities of the atomic structure with rings of electrons and its mirroring of solar systems always intrigued me. I wanted to explore blowing up these elements to the scale of galaxies. What does a simple shell feel like when hung in the stars at the scale of planets? I was also interested in the potential energy of all matter and as such the potential energy of art.
Calder could see that these objects had the potential to move beyond their default rudimentary purposes, or at least by contextualizing them within his work, he managed to transform them—a form of artistic alchemy. I’ve depicted them here brimming with energy and flow—a reference to the latent potential in all things."
Jointly developed by Calder Foundation and TRLab, The Calder Question is the first official NFT experience dedicated to pioneering 20th Century artist Alexander Calder. The experience takes appreciation for fine art to another level: it is an innovative, education-driven digital collecting journey that brings you closer to an artist and their legacy like never before.
The Calder Question will challenge participants’ assumptions about Calder and deepen their understanding of his art, culminating in a singular opportunity to collect limited-edition NFTs created specifically for this partnership. It begins with an orientation to Calder’s life and work that sets the stage for participants to explore four of Calder’s signature art forms in detail: mobiles, early abstractions, figurative wire sculptures, and sound-making works. The Calder Foundation will use the proceeds to establish a new conservation fund for the restoration of Calder sculptures.
