A look into some of the work of sculptor Jean Tinguely at the Basel Museum in Switzerland. Seeing this on video does not do the work justice so my advice is to check it out someday!
Jean Tinguely's Four Méta-Harmonie Music Machines at Museum Tinguely, Basel
Swiss artist Jean Tinguely’s sculptures always have an acoustic dimension, which was consciously composed and balanced by Tinguely as part of the works. They generate noises, sounds, and apparently random music. This musical side reached a climax with the four Méta-Harmonie music machines between 1978 and 1985. The exhibition “Music Machines / Machine Music” provides the unique opportunity to experience these large-scale and versatile sound boxes, which are at home in Karuizawa (Japan), Vienna, and Basel, in dialog with one another. The four artworks form the stage for a broadly defined program of events and concerts devoted to the theme of mechanical music, which includes artists such as Zimoun, Bianca Hildenbrand, Eliza Coolidge, Timothy Severo, Thom Luz and others. This video has its focus on Jean Tinguely's four Méta-Harmonie music machines. This video is an excerpt, the full-length version is available at

JEAN TINGUELY SUPER META MAXI
MUSEUM KUNSTPALAST
23.04. - 14.08.2016
Das Museum Kunstpalast präsentiert in Kooperation mit dem Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, in einer umfangreichen Retrospektive das Werk des Schweizer Künstlers Jean Tinguely (1925–1991). Mit seinen kinetischen Objekten, den spielerisch-absurden Maschinen-Plastiken sowie mit seinen theatralischen Groß-Projekten und Aktionen gelang es Tinguely immer wieder aufs Neue, die musealen Grenzen in der Kunst zu überwinden und prägte damit entscheidend die künstlerische Entwicklung und das Erscheinungsbild der Kunst nach 1945.
----
With his junk objects, machine sculptures, but also his happenings and performances, the Swiss artist Jean Tinguely is regarded as one the most versatile and independent protagonists of the international art scene since the 1950s. Early on he artistically explored the phenomenon of movement. In collaboration with the Tinguely Museum, Basel, and the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, this show will be the first major exhibition of the work of Tinguely in approximately15 years. The show, which comprises more than 100 works, will span a wide range of works, starting with his first tenderly poetic wire sculptures and kinetic assemblages through to his world-famous Méta-matics.

Tinguely Museum Basel
Tinguely museum Basel CH - With his museum situated on the Rhine, the architect Mario Botta created an unusual stage for Tinguely’s works. In the huge central hall alone there is space for twenty machine-sculptures. The southern façade giving on to the river presents a special architectural feature: an elongated suspended section detached from the body of the building, constitutes a kind of riverbank promenade along which all museum visitors must proceed – an itinerary directing the visitor’s eye to the Rhine. The façade giving on to the motorway in the east is very high, with three levels of exhibition spaces above ground level making it the tallest part of the building; it establishes a sound barrier towards the green spaces. Facing the park, on the opposite side, the museum consists of five sections, three of which open onto the park through a wide porch. The northern façade runs parallel to the Grenzacherstrasse. A covered area between the street and the museum provides access to the park and the museum.
The museum interior on the ground floor may be divided by walls that can be raised and concealed in the ceiling. The static support system at this level is coordinated with a pre-existing, underground reservoir (five storey’s deep) for treating the Rhine water. The exhibition spaces consist of four areas of different design and on four different levels. The first storey (2.90 m above ground level) is reached via the Rhine promenade section; it forms a gallery, open to the ground floor on one side and the exhibition rooms on the other. At the end of this gallery, the visitor reaches the next storey (at the height of 7.85 m), a series of ‘classical’ rooms with daylight entering through slanted skylights. The route proceeds downwards to a level three metres below ground level, where works are shown that do not require daylight. The visitor’s tour ends on the ground floor with the huge monumental sculptures. They occupy the museum’s largest exhibition space (30 x 60 m), divisible into five areas as mentioned above, and facing the park.
Facts:
October 1994: Excavation and beginning of building; October 1, 1996: Official inauguration. Exhibition spaces: 2'866 sqm; Total surface: 6'057 sqm
