Kinetic Sculpture, by Werner Sun

Kinetic Sculpture masterfully combines Sun’s knowledge of physics with his eye for beauty. By day, Sun studies elementary particles at Cornell’s Synchrotron and at the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva, Switzerland, but by night, his energy is transferred to the creation of mobiles and stabiles.

The third exhibit in the series Art Behind the Scientist opens in the Avenue of the Friends on Friday August 13, and will be on display through September 30.

Werner Sun will talk about his exhibit and present a workshop on mobile making at 6:00 pm on Wednesday, August 25, in the BorgWarner Community Room.
