Posted by Fabio 25 March 2010
Christian Weber is a visual artist born in Cincinnati, Ohio. A few years after his birth his family moved to Florida where he started taking photographs at the age of fourteen. Creating assured images, Weber demonstrates a raw elegance that is at once provisional and precise. His celebrated portraits, architecture, and landscapes reveal a talent equally open to the verve and beauty of contemporary life.

These sculptures are made from 2 over the counter ‘Dancing Stands’ (the tacky kinetic product display stands you can often see in down market stores) which have been modified to spin at slightly different speeds. When the modified stands are placed next to each other they go in and out of phase about every 4 minutes. Artist Cory Arcangel first showed a version of these sculptures his show “Creative Pursuits” at the University of Michigan Museum of Art.
