GABBLER RECOMMENDS: Alexander Calder performs his “Circus” | Whitney Museum of American Art

Alexander Calder shows us what all the amazing wire models that make up his miniature circus can do in this film by Jean Painleve from 1955. Calder is famous for his colorful mobiles, but Cirque Calder is one of his incredible lesser-known works from 1931.

2015 Roundup!

Here’s a look back on 2015  for the CIRCO blog. #MakingMemories

Last year, THE AUTOMATION was made available for free viewing and downloading on Goodreads. 

Too Many Cooks was a thing in 2015.

“Geek culture” moved one step closer toward pissing people off.

The pen name Adrian Jones Pearson was mistaken for Thomas Pynchon because of his “Cow Eye Press” novel Cow Country. Has anyone read it?

THE AUTOMATION got reviewed in Tales of the Talisman. Four talismans! 

The TV show Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell came out. Gabbler liked it.

We reblogged this critique of Lev Grossman’s The MagiciansIt’s spot-on.

James Patterson was a dick. As usual.

The Movie Ex Machina came out and was, like, the best movie of 2015.

The all-female Ghostbusters cast was announced, and B.L.A. had thoughts on it.

The CIRCO blog surpassed 1,000 likes in 2015! 

Jesse Eisenberg showed some love to the footnote. What a guy! 

Aaaaand you can check out the GABBLER RECOMMENDS category for 2015 books we recommend, like Fifteen Dogs.
