Guests to Kresge Art Museum this weekend will see three new exhibitions that open Saturday.

Featured is “Art in Motion: Selections from the Collection,” a presentation of 1965 graduate John T. Scott. It will compliment the other main exhibit, “The Power and Passion of Dance: The Carol Halstead Dance Photography Collection.”

Museum curator April Kingsley said the two exhibits go together well.

“Since the photography is about movement, we thought we’d do an exhibition about movement,” she said. “It’s not only sculptures that move, it’s also about depictions of movement.”

Scott’s sculpture is kinetic, so guests to the museum will see mobile art.

“My work it kinetic, based on wave physics,” he said. Each of Scott’s sculptures involve length, frequency and amplitude.

One of the things he focuses on, hunting bows, is based in mythology. He said he came across African stories that told of hunters who felt remorseful after killing an animal, so to make up for it, they would stretch the bow string and pluck it to give the animal “a libation of music.”

“I liked that idea so much that I started making bow sculptures,” he said.

The third exhibition is an addition to the Works on Paper Gallery. Artist Tom Block’s work, “Archeology of a Painting - The Dance of the Hasidim,” depicts the celebration of the festival of Simhat Torah, an event created by Baal Shem Tov, founder of the Hasidic Jewish movement.

A reception will be held Sunday from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. to kick off the new exhibits. Photographer Carol Halstead will speak about her dance photography at 3 p.m. and MSU professor Dixie Durr presents a dance performance at 4 p.m.

All exhibitions are free and open to the public, and will run for several months.
