Calder’s Circus

Year Published: 1963

Creator: Carlos Vilardebo

Complete Record: We see Alexander in his studio among all the wire sculptures of circus animals. Begins with sort of creepy circus music and Calder as a mad circus barker. We see close ups of his kinetic sculptures moving. In the background, his wife (?) watches him move the sculptures around. Much footage of Calder demonstrating his various circus sculptures, most of which are built to simulate movement. The sculptures are occasionally animated into movement.
