Karl Drerup Art Gallery

Opening Events November 7, 4-6 p.m.
Arthur Ganson manifests imagination in motion through his kinetic works. A self-described cross between a mechanical engineer a choreographer, Ganson frees machines from productivity and allows them to be playful objects for thoughtful meditation. The mesmerizing works probe our relationships to the machine, ranging from mechanical department to anthropomorphic identification.
