Ross Manning: New Work

Primarily known as a kinetic artist, Ross Manning explores light, physics, sound and the elements in his work, repurposing disused and broken electronics to create dynamic sculptures and atmospheric installations. By bringing these components into conversation with utilitarian materials such as fluorescent tubing, fans, string and brown paper, he examines our ongoing and increasingly complex relationship with technology. He breaks apart machines to demystify their rarefied position and to experiment with their material capabilities, a process that opens possibilities for sensory experience. While his work addresses technology, it also references the legacy of minimalism, sound art and expanded cinema. Text Extract
