Calder Now explores the enduring and unmistakable influence of Alexander Calder on contemporary art.

This catalogue, published on the occasion of the exhibition Calder Now at the Kunsthal Rotterdam, will pay ample attention to Calder’s life and work, as well as to ten contemporary artists, including Olafur Eliasson, Zilvinas Kempinas, Aki Sasamoto and Sarah Sze. The works by these artists from our own era resonate with important themes in Calder’s oeuvre such as light and reflection, humble materials and ephemera. Enigmatic, gravity-defying installations, sculptures that induce extraordinary optical experiences, and art that appeals to all the senses reveal new connections with Calder and bring into focus the countless extensions of his legacy. It includes essays by the artist, composer, and curator Gryphon Rue, the academic Donatien Grau, and guest curators Dieter Buchhart and Anna Karina Hofbauer.

About the Exhibition

From November 21, 2021 to May 29, 2022, Kunsthal Rotterdam is proud to present ‘Calder Now‘, an extensive exhibition that explores the lasting and undeniable influence of the modern master on contemporary art. ‘Calder Now’ presents more than twenty sculptures by Alexander Calder alongside works by ten prominent contemporary artists: Olafur Eliasson, Žilvinas Kempinas, Simone Leigh, Ernesto Neto, Carsten Nicolai, Aki Sasamoto, Roman Signer, Monika Sosnowska, Sarah Sze and Rirkrit Tiravanija.

Mysterious, gravity-defying installations, sculptures that evoke extraordinary optical experiences and art that appeals to all the senses, reveal new connections to Calder and visualize the myriad extensions of his legacy.

This must-see Kunsthal production offers a new perspective on developments in contemporary art in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries and is created in close collaboration with guest curators Dieter Buchhart and Anna Karina Hofbauer and the Calder Foundation. Many of the sculptures and installations will be on display in the Netherlands for the first time.
