Art and Physics - Alexander Calder @ MCA Chicago
Image by farlane via Flickr I try to take advantage of Chicago's rich cultural institutions during the summer, and one of my favorites is turning out to be the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) . I often like to go on their free day (Tuesdays) and try to time it so I can hop a free tour as well (1pm, 2pm, 6pm on Tuesday). Today's tour focused predominantly on Alexander Calder and several artists influenced by him. I could not help but be amazed by the connections to science and engineering that Calder, Middlebrook, Boyce and others made in their works.
