Alice Anderson was selected to join the Atelier Calder residency in December 2019. During her three months there, she created large scale performative paintings and sculptures in response to the architectural building’s structure.
The Geometric Dances series was first initiated at Atelier Calder after recreating and painting Calder’s geometric door elements one afternoon.
“The next morning, I was ready to start the memorisation of the elements with wire to create sculptures, but when I arrived in the studio, the geometrical elements were not dry yet. In order to dry them, I unravelled a long paper on the floor and started to move each geometrical element one by one. It was as if the geometrical shapes where dancing on the paper, printing their dance directly on it, when I realised that it was like a “Geometric Dance”. - Alice Anderson
