MIT Museum: Arthur Ganson
Bouncing, delightful, mechanical art at the MIT Museum
Category Museums and Collections, Outsider Art, Unique Collections
Housed in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology museum in Cambridge, Massachusetts, is a permanent collection of wondrous and playful machines from MIT's former artist in residence, Arthur Ganson.
Some of Ganson's wonderful machines bounce endlessly, others oil themselves, others perform mysterious tasks without explanation. Of particular interest is the sculpture in which a tiny wishbone must, Sisyphus-like, forever drag an enormous machine around behind him.
