IN-MOTION

The Space Age, a notion already capturing popular imagination in the 1950s through architecture, fashion, film and design was no less celebrated by visual artists. This fascination with the new placed pure line, movement, form and colour at its center.

The advances in technology, especially post war, and the start of the modern machine age gave artists access to new materials such as plastic, moulded glass, Perspex, transparent screens, and electric motors. This grabbed artists’ attention and was quickly adapted as a new form of expression and leading to multiple and innovative discoveries by individuals and artist groups in creating moving images, distortions, or illusions.
