Celebrated artist David Medalla (b.The Philippines 1942) gives an
extensive interview to Cv/VAR, in which he discusses his advent to
the literary and art scenes of Paris and London at a significant
point of change in 1960. He recalls his introduction in Paris by
Man Ray, Marcel Duchamp, Raymond Duncan and Gaston Bachelard, who
admired his original kinetic sculpture, The Bubble Machine.
Arriving in London in 1963 he joined Paul Keeler to operate Signals
Gallery, exhibiting European and South American artists such as
Jesus Rafael Soto and Vassilakis Takis, in groundbreaking
manifestations. Medalla went on to form the Exploding Galaxy, a
seedbed of performance art based in a house at London's Ballspond
Road. A protean spirit of wide influence over five decades as a
poet and visionary creator, Medalla has continued his extraordinary
path. Following a recent show in Berlin Medalla will next be seen
in 'Migration' a six month long survey starting in January 2012 at
Tate Britain.
