Get an insight into the life and ideas of Len Lye.

Take a walk and talk tour with Len Lye Curatorial Assistant, Emma Glucina through our current Len Lye exhibitions: Sky Snakes and Len Lye Tangibles: 1959 - 1961.

Tangibles: 1959-1961 is the first of two exhibitions presenting a chronological overview of Lye’s kinetic sculpture.
Acclaimed for his experimental cinema from the 1930s through to the 1950s, Len Lye largely abandoned filmmaking at the close of the 1950s to join a thriving kinetic art scene.

Sky Snake's is a dancing kinetic sculpture. A rotating, spinning chain creates harmonic wave patterns or figures familiar to Lye's other works, and travelling waves that move up and down the chain. A brass ball at the bottom end of the chain represents the head of a snake.
