I'm taking advantage of my hosting duties for the public radio show,
"Experience Talks," to interview an artist whose work I greatly enjoy: Bruce Gray. Bruce makes kinetic art, rolling ball machines, mobiles, giant objects, abstract paintings, magnetic sculptures, functional art, modern metal sculptures, and more. His work has been featured at many museums, art galleries, in over 36 books, and countless times on TV and in movies. I'm particularly fond of his robots, his magnetic sculptures, and, yep, a giant wedge of Swiss cheese! Visit
Bruce's website, and read his blog,
The Steel Whisperer. You can also find him on Facebook and Twitter. Listen to his interview on
KPFK-FM at 8 AMPT on Saturday, November 29th. You can also hear it later on the Experience Talks website's
Listen Page. Here are some examples of Bruce's wonderful work.

ReplyDeleteYes, the robots are great! The giant cheese makes me laugh. I really enjoy all of Bruce's work. Hope you have a chance to hear the interview. It's posted on the Experience Talks website now: http://www.experiencetalks.org/listen/
