POL BURY

POL BURY

Born in La Louvière, Belgium, Pol Bury (1922-2005) spent his artistic career in France and the United States. In 1955 he took part in the landmark exhibition ‘Le Mouvement’ at the Galerie Denise René in Paris, and is regarded as one of the pioneers of kinetic art. Pol Bury is distinguished from other artists - and friends - of kinetic art by his use of extremely slow movement as a means of expression. The almost imperceptible, random movements of the sculptures and reliefs confront us with our own relationship/experience of time. Only the interruption of an action or movement allows us to become aware of the perception of time.
