We are able to visit Amon Carter Museum a couple weeks ago and we had so much fun I can’t wait to return and I would like to bring some of my friends with me.
When I found out Amon Carter Museum is hosting a Artist Talk with Camille Utterback on Oct. 3 I knew this would be the perfect time to return with our friends.
What moves an artist to make their work? What kind of artist makes art that moves? On October 3 from 6–7:30 p.m. move it to the Carter to join artist Camille Utterback as she shares her insights on her pioneering process and how she created the interactive installation Untitled 5 now on-view at the museum during our special Artist Talk. Discover a new work that moves you and get the full story on how the artist created it.
This Thursday, the Carter will be hosting an Artist Talk with Camille Utterback as she shares her insights to her work Untitled 5 in the Carter’s Set in Motion: Camille Utterback and Art That Moves.
Discover how this work translates visitors’ movements into an animated digital painting. Through her computer software, Utterback transforms motion into a masterpiece that constantly evolves.
Join Utterback as she explains how she blended technology and art throughout her career and how she has been inspired by artwork that transforms human movement.
Her discussion will be followed by a Q+A session where visitors will be able to find out everything they’ve been dying to know about Untitled 5 from the artist herself.
Find inspiration in art that moves you, literally! Tickets are available for purchase at $10 per person (free for Carter members). Make a move to the Carter to learn more about what makes an artist tick and how movement can transform into art.
You can find out more information about this and upcoming events at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art by visiting our calendar.

About Set in Motion: Camille Utterback and Art That Moves
This exhibition pairs an interactive installation by new-media artist Camille Utterback with a century of art depicting motion from the Carter’s collection.
In Utterback’s Untitled 5 (2004), visitors’ movements in the gallery space are run through computer software written by the artist that translates them into an animated digital painting that constantly evolves.
Although thoroughly contemporary, Untitled 5 builds on a rich lineage of artwork that records or transforms human movement, including the abstract expressionists Utterback considers her creative forbears.
Set in Motion includes a selection of work by women who experimented to pursue this difficult goal, from well-known masters like Georgia O’Keeffe and Helen Frankenthaler to underappreciated artists like Barbara Morgan and Anne Ryan.
