Calder Le Cirque Clip 1

Carlos Vilardebo's 1961 film of Alexander Calder's "circus," an intricately assembled performance piece played out by handmade characters including jugglers, sword swallowers, clowns, and animals. These figures, crafted from a collection of "cork, wire, wood, yarn, paper, string, and cloth," were each assigned a series of movements and manipulated by the artist to perform specific circus acts. With performances held at various locations in Paris and New York through the mid 1930s, Calder's circus helped to establish him in avante-garde circles. Jean Cocteau, Joan Miró, Fernand Léger, Piet Mondrian, Le Corbusier, Thomas Wolfe, and André Kertész were among those who saw the celebrated Cirque Calder over the years.AAA

Calder brought his Circus to Pittsburgh Pa but there wasn't enough interest in 1943 so he took the show to DC - he was great friends with Betty Rockwell and had several shows at the Outlines gallery in the 40's check it out : 1: Your ugly ? No Girl Is Ugly
