Wendy Wetmore Art Exhibit | Art Into Industry: Bauhaus Ausstellung

Wendy Wetmore Artist Reception | Art Into Industry: Bauhaus Ausstellung

Artist’s Statement: Inspired by Bauhaus, arguably the single most influential modernist art school of the 20th century, this visual work explores Bauhaus concepts through a modern “lens.” Here, Wendy explores some of the Bauhaus ideology through collaboration with dancers and models. Using mass-produced products such as plumbing pipe, strings of holiday lights, fiber-optic filament, and plastic rods, Wendy has created shapes for her subjects to interact and dance with. Each person brings their own style and expression to objects of rationalism, breathing life into them with the movement of dance and motion.

Wendy works with dancers regularly in her personal and commercial image-making. Through choreography, dance can be deeply personal, as in a solo performance – or it can be repetitious or robotic. In this series, Wendy combines the uniqueness of the dancer’s movement with the simpler – more abstract and rational – shapes that they dance with.
