David Bowen: The Journey
October 9, 2021 - January 23, 2022
David Bowen blends science, art, and data gathered from nature to create kinetic and robotic sculptures, made from natural and manufactured materials. Two large installations of kinetic sculptures will be exhibited at MMAM, based on collected sea floor and wave data Bowen recorded during a journey aboard the Schmitt Ocean Institute research vessel Falkor, which sailed from Portland, OR to Honolulu, HI in 2019. Bowen is an associate professor of Sculpture and Physical Computing at the University of Minnesota, Duluth.
