Len Lye tour with Len Lye Foundation Director Evan Webb

Hear from the director of the Len Lye Foundation, Evan Webb as he talks about, and underneath, Sky Snakes on the occasion of the Len Lye exhibition Tangibles: 1959-1961. Webb will also discuss a sketch of Lye’s yet-to-be-realised Storm Chamber, a large-scale work, comprising several other smaller ‘tangibles’ that the Foundation is planning to build.

Join us on this special tour to delve deeper into a defining period in Lye’s artistic practice, which saw his focus shift from filmmaking to kinetic sculpture.

Tangibles: 1959-1961 is the first of two exhibitions presenting a chronological overview of Lye’s kinetic sculpture. Visitors will encounter original and reconstructed works from this important phase of Lye’s career including Firebush, Watusi, Rotating Harmonic, Roundhead, Grass and Fountain.
