Large-scale Kinetic Sculpture

Michael Angelo Truncale — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 18:25:21 +0000

My friend Reuben Margolin’s large-scale kinetic sculpture captivates viewers with fluid movement. Best known for his “Wave” pieces, Reuben’s work invites contemplation from a variety of perspectives: as a mesmerizing kinetic sculpture; as a visualization of the complexities of wave motion and related scientific and mathematical concepts; and as an intricate and beautiful mechanical device. Reuben’s work combines the logic of mathematics with inspiration drawn from the beauty and patterns of nature. His work has been shown at the Exploratorium, the Aquarium of the Pacific, Chabot Science Center and Yerba Buena Center for the Arts.

See his upcoming Show:
