Narrator: Alexander Calder called this work, made in 1932, Object with Red Discs. His idea was to make abstract paintings that moved, using the scientific methods he learned in engineering school. Before he began to assemble this work, he measured out all the elements; then he projected the angles to be described when the object was in motion, and determined the arc of the spheres as they moved. Calder's work changed the traditional relationship between a sculpture and the space around it. His works moved, and in so doing, expressed a modern conception of a dynamic, rather than a static universe. Designer Karim Rashid comment son his perception of Calder's sculpture. Karim Rashid: Alexander Calder's work defied our perceptions of what reality is and created a new universe and a new cosmos of his forms. His work also is very, very architectural in the sense that it's perpetually speaking about and engaging and celebrating space. On the other hand, it had a beauty in its simplicity and its—the fact that the majority of the work was created out of line, which in a sense is one dimension, or created out of plane, a piece of steel cut into form, which is two dimensions. And as the work came together, it created in a sense the third dimension. And in turn, I think the negative space, the fact that these objects had such lightness to them, created a fourth dimension, a kind of spiritualism about the work itself.
