Alan Rath: Virtual Unreality opens on February 23, 2019. Rath is a Bay Area artist known internationally as a pioneer in electronic, kinetic, and robotic sculptures. Since the early 1980s, he has produced an ever-evolving body of work that ranges from elaborately designed electronic marvels to fluid, kinetic mobiles. All of his sculptures utilize custom electronics designed and fabricated by the artist. Many of his works modify their behavior in unexpected ways over long spans of time, some taking years or even decades to display surprising new imagery. This major retrospective marks the first large-scale exhibition of Rath’s work in 20 years.
