Metal Creation May 7
"On the Fence" at Smith College
NORTHAMPTON, Mass.-For one day only,
"Chronosynclasticinfandibulator," a 15-foot sculpture
composed of wagonwheel rims, car springs, horseshoes, chainlinks,
snowblower blades, table legs, a manure-spreader chain, a belt-driven
wheel, various farm machinery parts and an I-beam will be on
display on the Seelye Hall side of the construction fence surrounding
the Smith College Fine Arts Center from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Tuesday,
May 7.
"Chronosynclasticinfandibulator" was created by Chesterfield
artist James Kitchen, who uses salvaged materials to create his
welded metal sculptures. Of his unusual designs, Kitchen says,
"My goal is to animate metal and evoke ... a sense of universal
values. ... I try to incorporate balance, spatial relationships
and humor in my art."
The installation, which is free and open to the public, is part
of "On the Fence, Public Art in Public Space," a Smith
College Museum of Art project initiated last fall to showcase
local artwork and maintain an art presence on the campus while
the college's Fine Arts Center undergoes a renovation and expansion.
