This Swiss kinetic artist caught my eye after doing some research on our History and Theory project on Michael Landy. His childhood played a huge part in creating a story that would become a model for his work in the future. 1960 was the year where Tinguely was commissioned to produce work to be performed in the Sculpture Garden of the MOMA in New York. He there produced a self-destroying mechanism that was 27 minutes long, where the machine shuddered, shook and went into a mass flame of self-destruction. (bottom)
