Cruz-Diez: color as an event, not an ornament

For Carlos Cruz-Diez, color was not something applied onto things but an event that happens before the viewer’s eyes. Color in the Making, at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Panama, gathers decades of the Venezuelan artist’s research into perception, public space and the participation of the onlooker. His works change depending on where you stand and how you move: the picture is not finished until you arrive. It is kinetic art at its most playful and intelligent. With ArtGuide you grasp the idea behind each piece.
