Accidental Flight

Dylan Gauthier’s two-part project explores the aesthetic, conceptual, and transcendent aspects of flight, invention, and collaboration. The artist pairs a sculpture based on the triangular-trussed kites built by Alexander Graham Bell with a monthly publication of kite patterns (“scores”) for visitors to take away, assemble, and fly. To accompany his kite scores, Gauthier hosted monthly kite-flying performances throughout the duration of EAF16 during which his latest kite pattern is launched.
