Butch Morris premieres "(The) Invisible Wake": A Chorus of Poets Interpret Calder

On 20 June 2012, the Calder Foundation presented the premiere of Butch Morris's “(The) Invisible Wake”: A Chorus of Poets Interpret Calder, a Conduction composition constructed in the moment from Calder's writings.

“(The) Invisible Wake” investigates and intertwines two means of artistic expression, weaving new poetic narratives of

(re)interpretation through ten vocalists. The result is a journey that is stunning and overwhelming - unique to the moment of occurrence, never again to be reproduced, and instantly lost to the moments passed of a spent last breath.

Calder Foundation in the press

Read interviews with Calder Foundation President Alexander S. C. Rower in Swedish contemporary art magazine Artlover (May 2012) and London-based Graffiti (Summer 2012).

Dear Friends,

This past weekend, happily coinciding with Calder’s birthday on Sunday, 22 July, the monumental Tripes, 1974, was installed at the entrance of the St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel in London, just in time for the opening of the Summer Olympics. There was also a special homage to Calder on NOWNESS.com: a clip from Herbert Matter’s rarely seen film Works of Calder, 1950.
