 Los Angeles artist Tim Hawkinson has been called one of America's most singular and inventive sculptors today. He is renowned for creating both monumental and microscopic works made of complex kinetic and sound producing elements, which are operated through low-tech programmed systems. Hawkinson's work is seemingly scientific, and the necessities of his inventions often lead to new tools, widely imaginative approaches and diverse mediums. Hawkinson has created major works in drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, video, installation and sound. In February 2005, the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art presented 20 years of the artist's work in his first major museum survey. The PBS series Art:21 interviewed Hawkinson about his practice and concepts, and he was also featured on NPR's "All Things Considered" (2005). Hawkinson is a graduate of UCLA and is currently represented by the Ace Gallery in Los Angeles. Posted by Seth Curcio at February 4, 2007 12:00 AM | Permalink | E-mail This | |||
Join the discussion:Tim Hawkinson is the shit. I saw his retrospective at the Whitney, and was utterly amazed in the man’s inventiveness and craftiness. He had made huge pieces out of pipes and they mimicked bodily sounds. He had also made a tiny bird skeleton out of his finger nails. Tim Hawkinson is the shit. ---------------------------------------------------------- Posted by: Sebastian | February 4, 2007 08:38 AM dude, that's crazy. i wish my hands were like that. ---------------------------------------------------------- Posted by: justin | February 4, 2007 10:47 PM This work reminds me of someone else’s I've seen but I can’t put my finger on it. ---------------------------------------------------------- Posted by: ian | February 4, 2007 11:24 PM |
