Catenary: Animating Art Within Geometry: Work by Doug Bosch

31 Oct 2009 14:00:00 GMT

Newport Art Museum
76 Bellevue Avenue
Newport, Rhode Island 02840
Ongoing through Sunday, January 10, 2010, 4pm

Summary: An artist whose process is as compelling as his product, Doug Bosch has always pushed the boundaries of the visual experience, making us question the relationships between art, science and nature. In this new body of work, Bosch explores the catenary - the U-shaped sag a hanging cord or cable will assume when supported at its ends and acted on only by its own weight - “as image and sculptural form.”
