This week we had a chance to see Atlanta's "Art in Motion" exhibit at the Botanical Gardens in Piedmont Park. Much of the sculptures were metal mobiles of different sizes and shapes. Most of the work was geometric with hard lines and straight edges. Yet much of nature is soft and curvy so there was a noticeable disconnect. One artist's work was smart on how they used the idea of motion and connecting inertia with nature. The favorite works allowed audience participation. There has been a strong pull in contemporary art to acknowledge the viewer as the most effective component to complete a piece. Although many of the structures left much to be desired, we found a few that made the visit worth the price. These public pieces were at least accessible if not always warm, but the gardens themselves were inviting and peaceful. We strongly suggest a stroll through the green houses and around the grounds to all the fountains. A question that we asked each other was "Is nature drawn to symmetry?" We could site arguments for yes and no. What do you think?
