Calder: Nonspace takes its title from a 1963 essay by American novelist James Jones, written after his encounter with a series of large-scale sculptures at Alexander Calder's studio in Sach�, France. In his essay, reprinted in this book, Jones astutely describes Calder's deep understanding of architectural and natural environments, which enabled him to reorder a viewer's perception of the world surrounding his sculptures. This catalog explores this angle on Calder's monumental vision by documenting an installation at Hauser & Wirth Los Angeles. It consists of more than 30 stabiles, mobiles and standing mobiles woven through a specially designed environment created by New York architectural designer Stephanie Goto (whose projects include the New York restaurant Piora and the apartment of chef Daniel Boulud), along with five large-scale works set outdoors. Goto also contributes an essay that explores the transformation of a classical gallery into a unified experience, and an essay by Andrew Berardini looks at the moments in Calder's work where space is transformed by art.
