"Luca Buvoli: Flying--Practical Training for Beginners"
2001-01-31 until 2001-02-04
Austin Museum of Art
Austin, TX,
USA
Luca Buvoli's newest project,
Flying--Practical Training for
Beginners, will be presented
as fourth exhibition in the
Museum's New Works Series.
An Italian artist based in New
York, Buvoli has become
known for his eccentric,
sometimes whimsical drawings,
sculpture, installations and
animated films based on comic
book characters.
In this
exhibition, which includes his
latest animated film as well as
sculptural displays and
hand-drawn diagrams, Buvoli
explores one of man's most
ancient dreams, the ability to
fly without the aid of
mechanical devices. For this
body of work, the artist has
drawn upon varied sources for
inspiration and information,
including his experience as a
competitive swimmer; the
study of religion, meditation,
and science; and his father's
air force experience.
Organized by the MIT List
Visual Arts Center, Cambridge,
Massachusetts, and curated
by Jane Farver, Director.
