As magic as reality

"The Amazing Match Ballerinas' Circus" refers to the "Cirque Calder" by Alexander Calder, on view at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, which became popolar with the Parisian avantguard in 1927.

Alexander Calder's believed that art is fun (so do I).  He created a world made up of wire, strings and paper, and enjoied playing with it with the pure enchantment of a child. That's because he happened to believe in magic, just like children do.

Some pics of the Cirque Calder.




Calder had the ability to see a parallel world, hidden behind the veil of mundane reality, and to reveal it to the ones who were not able to see it.  This kind of art it's a status of mind. It is the ability to catch glimpses of the magic which our world is soaked with, and to turn it more real than reality itself. It is a gift to the human being, which all of us should be grateful for.

Next, a short video of the exhibitions of the Cirque Calder, as shown at the Withney Museum in New York.
