I once went to a gallery opening by the renowned Swiss kinetic sculptor Jean Tinguely (1991, Basel, about a week after the Happy Mondays played Elland Road). I remember it for three things.
1) Free beer AND chocolate. Woo!
2) A woman playing the tuba, solo, whilst dressed in a ball gown.
3) Tinguely dying about three weeks later.
I always hoped that was just a coincidence, because I could have been doing anything that night, giddy as I was on beer AND chocolate.
Arthur Ganson is a sculptor in a similar vein - and this is a page with videos of some of his sculptures at work. Catch the video of the Knife Throwing Machine. Funny: very funny.
