BODIL & LARNIE FOX.

 

The art team Bodil & Larnie Fox are visual and sound artists known for paintings, monumental bamboo sculpture, sound art,
sound installations and performances. Their kinetic/sound sculpture and paintings have been shown in “one-person” shows
at The Lab, The Richmond Art Center and The Randall Museum, and in numerous group shows and performances. They direct the Crank Ensemble, a fourteen-member group that performs on hand-cranked instruments built by the artists. They were commissioned to create and burn a 20 ft. bamboo and muslin windmill at Burning Man, and there they made and flew a bamboo airplane. Other collaborations with Bodil have included set design and construction for Theatre of Yugen’s “Cycle Plays” at Theatre Artaud (now Z Space), a giant kinetic dragonfly for the DuPage Museum near Chicago, and “Time Sensitive Materials” at Cricket Engine in Oakland, California.
