From October 16, 2008 through February 15, 2009, the Whitney Museum of American Art presents "Alexander Calder: The Paris Years, 1926-1933," a new look at the artist's early years when his radical innovations included open-air wire sculptures, his beloved and important miniature "Circus," and the creation of a new art form, the mobile. This video excerpts scenes of Calder performing the "Circus" from a 1955 film by Jean Painleve.

I grew up seeing the circus items in a glass case on the basement floor of the Whitney, at eye level for a child. I never knew the pieces worked and were part of a performance! Now I love them even more

What a WONDERFUL short video. Completely demonstrates the carefree child in Calder. A grown man, that obviously made all of the characters in the act, having such a good time with his work! AWESOME!

This is a joy! Fell in love with Calder's Cicus back in the 70s at the Whitney when I was in art shool... this isn't half of it! My father bought me the book which I chersih still, My first art memories are of pushing his mobile ("lobster trap & fish tail", I believe) at the Guggenheim to make it move and cast cool shadows and having the guard yell at me (and my dad!)!

google didnt send me here i saw this film years ago, 30yrs now, alexander calder was interested in the enjoyment of children through adults, in the curious art world if it isnt obvious yet to most people here in the colonies, his focus was not in the entertainment of/for adults but of/for the children, and not so much to endulge but to get them interested in one of the great mysteries of life ie art, why the business communities forgot to save these wire artifacts was because they werent boring
