86 Le Mouvement 2008 Theophilus Boakye at work in Le Mouvement 2008 studio In 1955, Victor Vasarely and Denise René curated a (now legendary) group exhibition at Galerie Denise René entitled ‘Le Mouvement’ (the motion). In addition to Marcel Duchamp, Alexander Calder and Vasarely, the exhibition included works by Yaacov Agam, Pol Bury, Jesús Rafael Soto, Yaakov Agam and Jean Tinguely. This exhibition provided an important framework and impetus for the artists who were laying the foundations of Kinetic Art. In Le Mouvement 2008, artist Mhairi Sutherland leads a team of young artists to recapture the excitement and dynamism of Op and Kinetic art for the 21st Century. “I think this project is fantastic! It’s so cool! It’s really helpful for me because doing art in school involves being able to expand your view on things and write them onto paper. I’ve gotten so many things from such simple pieces of art and it’s so interesting. I haven’t done art for about a year now so I love being able to get back into it, especially in such a big way.” Kevin Carter, 16 “I do art in school and I have a real passion for it, so after a year of not having assigned art projects (transition year), this project means a lot to me. I hope the project will only further my love and enjoyment of art and that the whole thing will be a success!” Jamie McGettigan, 16 “I think that Le Mouvement 2008 will help me to express myself and my ideas through my art. I hope to be able to show others how art is another way of expression and show how to use art instead of words. I also hope it helps to make me stronger in using my talent in life.” Aoife Gallagher, 17 “I’m really enjoying this art course, as it’s not like anything I’ve done before. We have been given a challenge to create a piece of art that has to do with movement and it has made me think deeper about what art really is. I am seeing things in a new light and am having great fun in trying to create a piece that reminds me of Duchamp’s work.” Aoife Conway, 17 “The art project to me is a new experience. An opportunity to learn about a branch of art you see everyday on clothes and everyday life, and it's influences on modern art. This was a chance to add my talent to great talents. What I hope to gain from this experience is a new approach to art and an appreciation for abstract art. What really fascinates me about this project is the science of art.” Theophilus Boakye, 18 “I started this because I am really interested in art and I thought it was a great idea and that I would have a lot of fun. I hope to gain more experience in art and develop my skills through this and enjoy it and have fun doing it. So far I have really enjoyed the experience and I hope to do a lot more.” Deirdre Gallagher, 17
