#SlowLookingSundays This sculpture, made of twisted pieces of aluminum titled "Nudo," (Knot), by Venezuelan artist Alberto Cavalieri, is a testament to a fundamental skill that humans have mastered. At some point, we all have tied a knot using rope, laces, or ribbon, but how difficult would it be to tie a knot using metal? Using his expertise in steelwork, Alberto Cavaliere uses metal to create sculptures of knots that create a paradox between matter and form. The way the metal is molded creates the illusion that the rigid material is fluid, giving the form a sense of movement and allowing us to question its material characteristics.  Look closely at the image of Alberto Cavalieri's work and consider the following questions. How long did you think it took the artist to create a metal knot? Think about the last time you tied the knot. Is the way you tie a knot different from the knot created in the image? Public art is constantly being exposed to the outdoor environment; what do you think it takes to care for a sculpture placed outdoors? ___ Alberto Cavalieri (Venezuela, b. 1969) Nudo fragmentado III / Fragmented Knot III, 2006 #MuseumEd #LearnWithMOLAA #MOLAA #Sculpture #MetalWork #AlbertoCavaliere

Rediscover the Magic: "𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐆𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐬" Just found an amazing piece in my digital stash that blew me away in 2017: "La révolution des Girafes" by the creative French artist Matthieu Robert-Ortis. This sculpture shows just how crazy the power of looking at things from a new angle can be! 🦒🐘 A pair of giraffes, their necks twisted together like they’re dancing. But wait? Move a bit, and boom, there’s an elephant made from the same wires. It's a cool trick that messes with your head! Life isn’t a fixed lens; it’s a kaleidoscope. Each angle reveals a different story. What appears mundane can transform into magic when viewed from a fresh vantage point. As I revisit this dynamic sculpture, I invite you 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐮𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝, 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐞𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐞𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 #𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐲! #ArtisticWonder #PerspectiveShift #CreativeExploration #ShareYourStory

Michelangelos of Strategy: Linguistic Chisels, Sculptural Forms, and the Art of Strategy | Elena Wicker #Strategy #Science #Metaphor 'Sculpture, like strategy, is a three-dimensional art form that relies on spatial relations and perspective to alter and reflect its environment. As opposed to a painting that can only be viewed from a single plane, sculpture can be seen and experienced from infinite points of view. Sculpture moves the intellect and the senses; strategic sculpture moves armies.' https://lnkd.in/ghQvU9ZB
