The Calder Question

Description

# *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."
